Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan@MayorofLondon·30 Haz

The past 16 months have shown just how vital access to nature is for our health and wellbeing. That’s why I’m investing £6 million to improve access to green space across London, with a focus on our city’s most disadvantaged neighbourhoods.

@GreenTheGrid @Merton_Council is not in favour of hard edging around tree bases due to the health and safety risk. They have conceded that an edge that protrudes no more than 10mm is allowable.

2020 has been a strong year for tree bases on the #SouthfieldsGrid and tree base judging has just taken place. Here's one of the winners! #urbangardening #Wandsworth #SW18

@TilbrookDaniela Ha ha, so that’s one vote for someone who’s not standing, from someone who doesn’t live in the ward 🤨😂

Haydons Road North@HaydonsNorth·4 Haz

And what about the new #Wandle ward, including Plough Lane, Havelock Road area and Caxton, Garfield Roads etc south to Merton High Street? Any independents willing to step forward to represent the neighbourhood rather than a party?

🔶 South Wimbledon (Abbey Ward) LibDems 🔶@LibAbbey

For the council elections in 2022, Abbey is going to be a choice between the LibDems and the Tories. Vote LibDem for councillors who will fight actively and constructively for the interests of our ward on Merton Council.

Great show of feeling today by many locals. Let it become known that the borough of Merton residents’ don’t tolerate unnecessary tree felling.

@eleanorlondon @Clarion_Group @MartinWhelton Would be great to see some #biodiversity designed into the building design and landscaping rather than relying on residents.

Planting a mix of native and introduced plants can help pollinators by extending the flowering season. Here's a handy chart of popular garden plants that pollinators particularly like.

More green = More happiness #MertonGardenStreets @ClimateMerton

GreenTheGridSW18@GreenTheGrid

Greener front gardens increase wellbeing. A recent study by @LaurianeSuyin shows how greener front gardens deliver a measurable decrease in stress - and increased happiness. 2021 is the Summer of #LoveYourFrontGarden on the #SouthfieldsGrid. Join us on 24 April!
