  • MGLA260719-8697 Date
    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.

Kingston and Richmond were recently targeted, Tony Jenkins of rescue charity Snarl told The Good Life: “It sounds drastic, but that’s the advice we’re giving cat owners until this psychopath is caught.” To date, 19 cat killings are confirmed; tails or heads gruesomely removed as ‘trophies’. Early incidents were in Croydon, but now the south-west suburbs are under threat. RSPCA post-mortems confirm foul play, rather than road accident deaths.

  • Playing Pitch Provision in the Royal Borough of Kingston Upon Thames
    PLAYING PITCH PROVISION IN THE ROYAL BOROUGH OF KINGSTON UPON THAMES Interactive Qualifying Project Report completed in partial fulfilment of the Bachelor of Science degree at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Worcester, MA Submitted to: Professor Frederick Bianchi Professor Chickery Kasouf In Cooperation With Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames Michael O‟Brien __________________________ Michael Rodriguez __________________________ Adrian Shaw __________________________ Christopher Wyant __________________________ 4/28/2011 ___________________________ Advisor Signature ___________________________ Co-advisor Signature Abstract In recent years, the UK Government has made significant strides to ensure that proper playing pitches and open spaces are available to citizens. The team assisted the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames in accomplishing this goal by performing an audit on all playing pitches within the Borough, surveying sports clubs and schools, and speaking to key members of the sporting community. This data was compiled and analysed and recommendations have been provided to the Kingston Council to ensure that playing pitches are in a respectable condition and are easily accessible to all citizens within the Borough. ii Acknowledgements The successful completion of this project would not have been feasible without the contribution from several key individuals. First, we would like to express a sincere thanks to our liaisons at the Kingston Council. Sheree Aitken, Steve Cardis, and Danalee Edmund from the Planning and Sustainability Department took the time to help us from the start of this project to completion. We would like to thank Professor Bianchi and Professor Kasouf, who lent us their assistance throughout both terms of this project. We would also like to thank Professor Golding for his guidance during the earlier stages of the project.
