A joint statement from Cllrs Anthony Okereke, Adel Khaireh and Sandra Bauer on our Adventure Play Centre proposals: THREAD 🧵⬇️

@londonplay Thank you @londonplay and @PlayEngland 🙌

Four #Greenwich staffed #adventureplaygrounds will be downgraded or shut if the cabinet signs off proposals next Wednesday 28 Jan. Based on a flawed consultation and setting a dangerous precedent. Click the link and find out how to act now. londonplay.org.uk/our_news/an-up…

@MrOkereke Greenwich Council to close three adventure playgrounds despite police concerns greenwichwire.co.uk/2026/01/21/gre…

We’re putting young people in the driver's seat with a new and improved offer for the services they rely on, and we’re Getting Things Done. With funding, facilities and trust, we're reimagining youth services in Greenwich for the better.

Today we’ve recommended two decisions at cabinet. They really matter. Here’s why.

@MattHartley100 And they should have visited Plumstead too.

@MattHartley100 Or Meridian, only Glyndon and Woolwich.

This is a disgraceful decision by Greenwich Council - perhaps their worst yet - after a sham consultation. They didn't even visit Coldharbour Play Centre to talk to the children who use the service. A complete insult greenwichwire.co.uk/2026/01/21/gre…

@SolCuthbertson Hi Solomon, hoping to get in contact as I understand you are the Labour coordinator for Shooters Hill. Please could you message me on Instagram at lararufflecoles? I always forget to check Twitter 🙂

@ZackPolanski @LakshanSaldin And fab for Darryl at GW too!

Two days - two defections! Huge welcome to the Green Party to Cllr @LakshanSaldin in Greenwich. Green Party keeps growing! 💚🚀 greenwichwire.co.uk/2026/01/07/gre…

@ZackPolanski @LakshanSaldin Great promo work everyone!

@londonplay @APPGonPlay @Jas_Athwal @RupaHuq @danfrancis02 @NDIronsMP 😍

We have written to the four London MPs who are members of the @APPGonPlay meeting this evening, appealing to them to use their leadership to prevent the closure of #Greenwich #adventureplaygrounds & the dangerous precedent this sets @Jas_Athwal @RupaHuq @danfrancis02 @NDIronsMP

@londonplay @playingout Our local playground was locked with a cable tie, it was broken by someone (not me!), I came back a couple of days later and a padlock was there. You could easily jump the low fence but that's not the point is it.

During WWII flying kites and feeding ducks was banned. But actually making it illegal to play outside? That was 2020. Great work by our friends @playingout in highlighting this injustice #CovidInquiry theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/s…

@iviswill @LakshanSaldin 🥰

Great catching up with my brilliant colleague @LakshanSaldin for lunch today. Productive conversations and plenty of inspiration. It is always energising to exchange ideas and strengthen our work together.

@MikePhillips48 @iviswill Hi Mike, Join the team on WhatsApp or Facebook, which would you prefer? Lara 🙂

@iviswill Ivis thanks for this If there’s anything I can do to help let me know I used to run Adventure Playgrounds in Islington in the 70s They need to be defended

Huge thanks to all the amazing Adventure Play Centre activists who are showing up, speaking out, and standing together to try and save the centres.  Our play centres are the heart of our communities now it’s over to all of us. Please get involved in the upcoming consultation and make your voice heard. Let’s protect and strengthen these vital spaces for our children. #SaveOurPlayCentres #GreenwichKidsDeserveBetter #AdventurePlayCentre #AdventurePlayground
