free and thriving for many years to come.

This is a quick edition, as I’ve got friends staying...
THEY PAVED PARADISE
AND PUT UP A PARKING LOT - shocking new statistic that says if you added up
all the parking space in London it would cover Zones 1 and 2
MARSHLIFE –
following on from the recent E book about the saving of Walthamstow Marshes in
the 1970’s, SLM have heard from a long-time campaigner for the marshes that
there is more information about the campaign and a map that can be found on the
London Natural History Society website
DUH OF THE WEEK –
this week’s new award goes to Gareth Thomas MP, who has suggested that the
Glastonbury Festival should be moved to London if the capital wins a bid to
become European Capital of Culture in 2023.
He suggested either Hackney Marshes or Epping Forest.
