    Our ref: MGLA260719-8697 Date: 22 August 2018 Dear Thank you for your request for information which the GLA received on 26 June 2019. Your request has been dealt with under the Environmental Information Regulations (EIR) 2004. Our response to your request is as follows: 1. Please provide the precise number and list of locations/names of primary and secondary schools in London where air pollution breaches legal limit, according to your most recent data (I believe the same metric has been used across the years, of annual mean limit of 40ug/m3 NO2, but please clarify). If you are able to provide more recent data without breaching the s12 time limit please do. If not, please provide underlying data from May 2018 (see below). Please provide as a spreadsheet with school name, pollution level, and any location information such as borough. This data is available on the London datastore. The most recent available data is from the London Atmospheric Emission Inventory (LAEI) 2016 and was published in April 2019. The data used for the 2018 report is LAEI 2013. Please find attached a list and a summary of all Educational Establishments in London and NO2 levels based on both the LAEI 2013 update and LAEI 2016. The list has been taken from the register of educational establishments in England and Wales, maintained by the Department for Education, and provides information on establishments providing compulsory, higher and further education. It was downloaded on 21/03/2019, just before the release of the LAEI 2016. The attached spreadsheet has recently been published as part of the LAEI 2016 stats on Datastore here.

    Image © Rob Sambrooks Image © Rob Hackney Biodiversity Action Plan 2012-17 black 11 mm clearance all sides white 11 mm clearance PJ46645 all sides CMYK 11 mm clearance all sides Councillor Introduction Cllr Jonathan McShane, Cabinet Member for Health and Community Services Cllr Sophie Linden, Cabinet Member for Crime, Sustainability and Customer Services It gives us great pleasure to introduce the first Hackney Biodiversity Action Plan. This document sets out the guiding principles of how Hackney Council and our partners will work to protect and enhance the wildlife and natural environment of the Borough. The Action Plan has been developed by the Council in collaboration with the Hackney Biodiversity Partnership. Hackney’s open spaces and structures provide homes for a range of common and rare wildlife, including birds, bats and plants. The Biodiversity Action Plan is about more than protecting our wildlife. Biodiversity contributes to our health and wellbeing, provides places for us to enjoy and helps us to adapt to the threat of climate change. This Biodiversity Action Plan identifies the key issues for biodiversity and clearly sets out how we will work to improve our open spaces and built environment. Working in partnership we will raise awareness of the value of our biodiversity, ensure that our green and open spaces are resources that all of our residents can enjoy and promote the wider benefits that biodiversity can provide. Hackney’s environment helps to define the Borough. It is important that we continue to strive to protect and improve our biodiversity, responding to the needs and aspirations of Hackney and its residents in the years to come.

  • Oral Historieseducators’ - Interview Notes Transcripts
    ORAL HISTORIESEDUCATORS’ - INTERVIEW NOTES TRANSCRIPTS JOE ARLINGTON My name was Joe Apple. By date of birth was the 7th January 1924 in Old Street within the sound of Bow Wells. I think it was called the London Maternity Hospital in those days. I lived the first few years of my life in the East End in Charles Street which was near Arbour Square in the East End and I moved when I was nine years old in 1933 to Evering Road. My father had opened up a fish shop in 1931 or 32. After that he took another fish shop at number 83. The fish shop was called Apple and later called Joe Apple in Stoke Newington. There were far more non-Jews than there were Jews and so he had to accommodate the people who lived in the area. We were both skilled craftsmen at filleting and preparing fish and we took people in and trained them. Ridley Road was the local market. Most of the people were drawn to markets because there was far more shops than stalls and the prices were keener than shops. So the discerning client who was a bit short of cash or wanted to buy something cheaper and have more variety went to the market. We found we were losing customers so we decided that’s where we should be. It was absolutely wonderful. It was open from very early in the morning till very late at night. It was always busy and it was a very happy atmosphere. I would say it was about 40% Jewish and 60% non-Jewish.
