2019-01-31-Making-The-Most-Of-Social-Media-To-Promote Making the most of Social Media to promote #CleanAirforChildren 1. Tips for using Twitter and Facebook at the Clean Air for Children London Question Time event ● Use our ‘How to find your elected representatives in England’ guide to identify your local representatives. Make a list of who you want to tweet at and share Facebook posts or messages with and search for them a few days before the event, these might include: ✓ Your MP ✓ Mayor of London - @MayorofLondon ✓ Your ward councillors ✓ Your Council Leader ✓ Your London Assembly Member ✓ Chairs/Deputy Chairs of the London Assembly’s Transport and Environment Committees ▪ Environment ▪ Chair: Caroline Russell - @CarolineRussell ▪ Deputy Chair: Leonie Cooper - @LeonieC ▪ Transport ▪ Chair: Caroline Pidgeon - @CarolinePidgeon ▪ Deputy Chair: Florence Eshalomi - @FloEshalomi ✓ Your borough council (search under the name of your borough and twitter, e.g., LB Camden Twitter, LB Hounslow Twitter) ● Keep your tone positive and respectful even if you are being challenging or critical. ● Use the hashtags #cleanairforchildren and #Llondon ● If you have enough characters remaining in your tweets, it might be good to add in #cleanair or #airpollution into your tweets so they are picked up and retweeted by a larger audience. ● Tag or retweet to the @ClientEarth and @lunguk Twitter accounts. ● If you are directing your tweet at somebody in particular, make sure that others can also see it by putting a full-stop before their Twitter account name to start the message, e.g.: “.@[yourMP] will you... “. ● If posting on Facebook, focusing on your ‘personal pollution story’ could win more likes and shares – write about how dirty air in your area affects you, your children and your community and why this has led you to call for action. ● Although there are no character restrictions on Facebook, it’s still best to keep posts short and to the point. ● Add images/photos of you and your children (if you feel comfortable doing this) or your local pollution hotspots so your tweets and posts have more impact. ● Keep an eye on other people using the #cleanairforchildren and like and retweet if you are supportive of what they say: it will help spread the message and give you more material to share. ● You could include hashtags for your borough, constituency or council ward to gain local interest. ● Share Facebook posts with the Clean Air Parents’ Network Facebook group and your own groups and networks. 2. Suggested tweets #cleanairforchildren @ClientEarth @lunguk ✓ I am joining parents & carers from across #London to support action to protect our children’s lungs from #airpollution where they learn & play at the #CleanAirforChildren Question Time this evening @ClientEarth @lunguk ✓ Great to hear more about what is being done to clean up London’s air and protect our children's lungs at the #CleanAirforChildren Question Time this evening @ClientEarth @lunguk ✓ Inspiring to be around parents, carers & other concerned Londoners calling for bold action to tackle #London’s toxic air and protect our children's lungs at the #CleanAirforChildren Question Time @ClientEarth @lunguk ✓ .@[yourMP/councillor/council leader] we need urgent action to get #CleanAirforChildren & protect young lungs where they learn & play in #[your borough/constituency], can you show your support for the #ULEZ? @ClientEarth @lunguk ✓ Ask your MP to join parents and carers in supporting bold action to tackle #London’s toxic air to protect our children's lungs from #airpollution where they learn & play #[your constituency] #CleanAirforChildren @ClientEarth @lunguk 3.

  • 1 Decision of the Election Committee on a Due Impartiality Complaint Brought by the Respect Party in Relation to the London Deba
    Decision of the Election Committee on a due impartiality complaint brought by the Respect Party in relation to The London Debate ITV London, 5 April 2016 LBC 97.3 , 5 April 2016 1. On Friday 29 April 2016, Ofcom’s Election Committee (“the Committee”)1 met to consider and adjudicate on a complaint made by the Respect Party in relation to its candidate for the London Mayoral election, George Galloway (“the Complaint”). The Complaint was about the programme The London Debate, broadcast in ITV’s London region on ITV, and on ITV HD and ITV+1 at 18:00 on Tuesday 5 April 2016 (“the Programme”). The Programme was broadcast simultaneously by LBC on the local analogue radio station LBC 97.3, as well as nationally on DAB radio and on digital television (as a radio channel). 2. The Committee consisted of the following members: Nick Pollard (Chair, Member of the Ofcom Content Board); Dame Lynne Brindley DBE (Member of the Ofcom Board and Content Board); Janey Walker (Member of the Ofcom Content Board); and Tony Close (Ofcom Director with responsibility for Content Standards, Licensing and Enforcement and Member of the Ofcom Content Board). 3. For the reasons set out in this decision, having considered all of the submissions and evidence before it under the relevant provisions of the Broadcasting Code (“the Code”), the Committee decided not to uphold the Respect Party’s complaint. The Committee found that in respect of ITV the broadcast of the Programme complied with the requirements of the Code. In the case of LBC, the Programme did not a contain list of candidates in the 2016 London Mayoral election (in audio form) and LBC therefore breached Rule 6.11.

  • A Co-Operative Vision for South London's
    Party Support Mailing April 2012 NATIONAL NEWS Please find below the latest news from Parliament, our national campaigns, the Co-operative Councils Network and more. Please circulate to your members or include this in your local newsletters. You can find all the latest news and opinions from the Co-operative Party at www.party.coop. A Co-operative vision for South London’s libraries Labour & Co-operative councillor Timothy Godfrey, Secretary of the London Co-operative Party, contrasts the possibilities for library services offered by co-operative solutions and the cuts and closures threatened by Croydon’s Conservatives In Croydon, local Labour & Co-operative Councillors have proposed to the ruling Conservative Council that instead of privatising the library service to a large scale private provider or another local authority under contract, the Council exploits an example of efficiency and popularity on its doorstep. The Upper Norwood Joint Library, is an independent library authority funded and run by two South London Councils, Croydon Council and Lambeth Council. Croydon Council spends £8million running one central library and 12 branch libraries. If you allow a generous £1.2million to run the central library, and its £200,000 contribution to the Upper Norwood Library (Lambeth and Croydon both contribute half the budget), that leaves a cost per branch library in Croydon at a staggering £550,000 per year. That might be acceptable, if the branch libraries in Croydon were well staffed, open long hours and in large buildings. They are not. They are small, often only open 4 days a week. To add insult to injury, the Conservative run council cut half of all qualified librarians last year in a ‘cost cutting’ drive.

  • Waste: Energy from Waste
    Holding the Mayor to account and investigating issues that matter to Londoners Environment Committee Waste: Energy from Waste February 2018 EMBARGOED UNTIL THURSDAY 15 FEBRUARY 2018, 06.00AM Key findings • Despite efforts to cut waste and increase recycling, more than half of London’s waste ends up being incinerated. The amount of waste sent for incineration (known as “Energy from Waste”) has more than doubled in the last decade, reaching nearly two million tonnes in 2017. • Burning waste takes materials out of the circular economy, releases carbon into the atmosphere and may have negative health effects. • But it also generates electricity, can provide heat for local homes and businesses, and reduces the amount of waste sent to landfill. • Energy from waste technology (EfW) is here to stay, at least in the medium term. • But while London has the EfW capacity to meet demand, it currently exports approximately over half a million tonnes of waste for incineration a year. • London needs to become self-sufficient in managing the waste it generates, reducing waste sent to EfW as population grows. • The Mayor intends to regulate London’s energy from waste sector by This report completes the London Assembly Environment Committee’s limiting its carbon emissions and maximising the energy benefits it can investigation into waste management. Previous reports in 2017 generate. considered the circular economy and household recycling and all three • London must begin to limit not only the amount but also the type of topics will be launched as a final report in spring 2018, with waste it sends to EfW.
