@SLongstaff @putneyhigh Good luck Suzie! Look forward to hearing about your new adventures at @DukesEducation

So as I get ready to start my new role, I am also having one more look back on my 14 fabulous years @putneyhigh and the most joyous, exhilarating and fulfilling professional time of my life. Thank you to everyone who has played a part. I will miss you all. #NewAdventure

@JimBethell Me too!

I agree with Boris.

I’ve received several threats to myself & my work because I present evidence based facts on the unfairness of male inclusion in Women’s sport. Which is biological sex based decriminalisation. I will not stop bringing these actual facts into the light or be bullied into silence.

Gold!! @putneyhigh @GDST @The_RHS #ChelseaFlowerShow #BiophilicClassroom

@cobrapjp2 Hi Peter, Kate Slesinger (Lowe) here… how lovely to see The Brothers getting an airing on your feed! I’m hardly ever on social media but just happened to see this. I think mum was in the first 3 series of The Brothers. She got ill in 1986. Xx

Hilary was in the first few series, then ? what was that when she became ill?

@AlexanderEhmann @JuLlewellyn @AlexanderEhmann I could cry reading this. My daughter took 3 hrs from school tonight, taking bus that got stuck @ Hammersmith Broadway. She’s not comfortable cycling through Dukes Meadows & along towpath as nights close in as it’s obviously menacing. No overstatement!

@JuLlewellyn Julia. The towpath is not the only option. There are road options too. They may not be desirable, which I understand, but no one is forcing usage of the towpath if they adjudge it unsafe. I suspect even with lighting many will still eschew it.

Just 17 days til clocks back Darkness + high tides, lengthy commutes, congested roads = danger, general weariness & despair. V grateful for your work on #hammersmithbridge Task Force @CharlotteV @grantshapps @Heidi_LDN @GregHands. Don’t let us down!

@NickFerrariLBC great to hear you haven't forgotten us! And interesting that the £37k monthly cost paid by @lbhf to 'guard' #hammersmithbridge = more than it would cost for a ferry service! @StephenCowan @CharlotteV @grantshapps @arbrown_town @borisjohnson @ShaunBaileyUK

Thank you @ShaunBaileyUK for visiting #HammersmithBridge last week to see 1st hand how lives are being turned upside down. @grantshapps our community counting on you to fast track a ferry @BorisJohnson @RishiSunak @charlottev @arbrown_town @Gareth_Roberts_ @GregHands

@arbrown_town @MichelleCoulter It's such a simple message so why is it taking so long to get through to the people in Govt? As you say, we need a means of crossing the River at #hammersmithbridge. Without a crossing, our community is being strangled. Thank you for adding to our voice @arbrown_town

@MichelleCoulter Apologies if I was unclear on this, Twitter not ideal for this kind of complicated topic - my point was that the ferry & temporary road bridge have to be the priority & to get them up & running as soon as humanly possible.

This example of loss of life demonstrates the emergency nature of the #HammersmithBridge situation. Acknowledge this, fast track ferry procurement and get a temp bridge in place @CharlotteV @ShaunBaileyUK @arbrown_town @Gareth_Roberts_ @DanaskelleyO

@JuLlewellyn @CharlotteV @grantshapps @Heidi_LDN @StephenCowan @Gareth_Roberts_ Why can’t the govt just “hire” a Thames Ferry or something similar (eg buy a damn boat or use the RN) to work this very short route even if it is financially ridiculous? Given the 100s of billions of taxpayers money being spent now on “the Pandemic”? It would even be good PR!

@grantshapps #Hammersmithbridge is on the doorstep @grantshapps so why not start to #buildbackbetter right here? Low hanging fruit. Our community desperately needs this lifeline back. 23 days til the clocks change & Bridge closure goes from being disruptive to downright disastrous

Today we’ve officially launched the #UnionConnectivityReview to look at how we can improve transport links across the UK to better connect our towns, cities & communities. This is another step we're taking to #buildbackbetter more detail here - gov.uk/government/new…

This is what my daughter encountered cycling home from school today, diverted to cycling by 6 lane A4. Thousands of children in the same situation with #HammersmithBridge shut. No help as winter approaches @charlottev @grantshapps ⁦@ShaunBaileyUK⁩ @stephencowan ⁦

#HammersmithBridge is an emergency. Whatever advice the Task Force has been given about procurement must be challenged. This can be fast tracked if categorised properly. Don’t let red tape get in the way of a solution. @StephenCowan @Gareth_Roberts_

@CharlotteV A ferry service to replace #HammersmithBridge is exactly what’s needed but we need it now not early next year. @CharlotteV it’s perfectly doable in weeks not months if the Taskforce gets behind it!

Today the #HammersmithBridge Taskforce met & agreed, while we’re still considering all options, inc a temp bridge, a ferry service is the best way to deliver a vital short-term solution for Londoners. Proud to be leading this group & getting the job done✅ gov.uk/government/new…

@charlottev @Gareth_Roberts_ @StephenCowan @Heidi_LDN @DanaskelleyO As others have said, we would like a task force to supervise this task force. It is cruel to keep people in the dark, when their children are at risk and daily lives in turmoil over #HammersmithBridge

@Gareth_Roberts_ @AlexanderEhmann Thanks @Gareth_Roberts_ for your reply. Fully aware of need for due diligence to be done and trying to breathe deeply before carping! Appreciate your efforts on our behalf. We just can’t go on open-endedly like this. A timeline after tmrws meeting would help

@vohochic @AlexanderEhmann If the due diligence isn’t done & any decision to award a contract (construction or carrier) is commercially challenged then BAM we’re facing delays and that helps nobody And safety - we need to ensure the safety of users of any crossing (Bridge or Ferry) provided It takes time

Cycling along Barnes-Putney 2xdaily before boat ride & then long walk - just to get to school and work - is taking its toll. Everyone exhausted. We need a stopgap ferry solution for #hammersmithbridge while we wait for action from Task Force. @Gareth_Roberts_ @AlexanderEhmann
