No Toxic Cruise Port for London

A very heartfelt thanks to all of our supporters and campaigners - everyone that signed our petition, helped with crowdfunding donations, supported us on social media and shouted so loud for the community that we could no longer be ignored

Good info on plans for the former cruise terminal site. Our lobbying and thousands strong petition played a significant part in the decision to scrap the planned terminal

@cobm123 @Royal_Greenwich time to step up and stop facilitating cruise ships at Greenwich Ship Tier. Do your bit to let @LondonPortAuth know that highly polluting cruise ships aren't appropriate in London.

@cobm123 @EGRA_London @LondonPortAuth @Royal_Greenwich Glad someone is taking this seriously at last. Plenty of research in other cruise destinations indicates that the financial benefits are pretty much non-existent. It's like having a highly polluting all-inclusive holiday resort parked in your backyard.

@notoxicport @EGRA_London @LondonPortAuth @Royal_Greenwich I’ve requested a review of the provision of coach parking - not just for that reason but also as I see no reason anyone needs to get a coach up town from Greenwich given public and active transport available, and additional inconvenience to residents and local businesses.

The monstrous cruise ships tower over residents homes, pumping out fumes 24/7, delivering little or no economic benefit to our community. We need proper air monitoring & noise enforcement as a minimum. Port of London must listen to residents concerns mylondon.news/news/south-lon…

@MayorofLondon This 30 year old tub has just moored at Greenwich. Emissions equivalent to about 500 HGVs. You're missing out on £150,000 a day in ULEZ charges! @EastEndEnquirer @LDN_environment @DrGaryFuller @TfL @APPGairpoll @MumsForLungs @EGRA_London

@MayorofLondon Silvertown Tunnel and cruise ships in Greenwich running massive generators 24/7. Get a grip. Both undermine whatever good you hope to do on improving air quality or addressing the very real climate emergency we are all facing.

It’s unacceptable that Londoners are forced to breathe polluted air. The ULEZ has hugely reduced air pollution in central London, but we need to go further to meet legal NO2 levels. On October 25, I'm expanding it to protect the health of Londoners now, and in the long term.

Disappointing to see a cruise ship back in Greenwich running diesel generators 24/7. We hoped that @LondonPortAuth and @Royal_Greenwich had declared a moratorium on cruise ships in London until they had installed an onshore power supply. So much for a climate emergency!

If its good enough for Antwerp it ought to be good enough for London's ports @LondonPortAuth #plugitin

Been revisiting opposition to the Enderby Wharf cruise terminal for a class later in the week. Dug out this vague promise of an alternative vision from @DanLThorpe in 2018 "we could build a new Peninsula Park on the riverfront for everyone to enjoy" Wonder what happened to that?

Bicycle tourism is a growing sector of the #tourism market and contributes € 44 billion to the European economy every year. Roughly the same as the whole European #cruiseship industry! 🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️= 🇪🇺🚢 ecf.com/sites/ecf.com/…

The lovely little green space is so close to where the proposed but now hopefully abandoned forever London cruise terminal at Enderby Wharf would have been built.

Same here in #Greenwich. 🛑 NO return to cruise ships docking for days in the centre of our residential communities, spewing out toxic diesel for days on end. @notoxicport @VikingCruises @LondonPortAuth @LabGND @GreenwichLibDem @Royal_Greenwich @DanLThorpe @aidanmasmith.

@BBCNews @itvnews @Channel4News cruise liners moored off our coast are causing #AirPollution while going nowhere. Fuelling our #ClimateCrisis without any passengers they are not harmless tourist attractions. 👇
