Hey All, keen to share an event - A Vigil for the River Lea - a free community event I’m organising with Surfers Against Sewage as part of its national Clean the Bill campaign.

Sunday 25 October, 5–7pm

Leaside, 34 Spring Lane, Hackney E5 9HQ

https://www.tickettailor.com/events/surfersagainstsewage1/2456378

The evening will bring together local stories, evidence, creativity, comedy and practical political action.

We’ll hear from people who know and care for the Lea, explore what is harming the river and who is responsible, and help residents lobby their MPs for a Clean Water Bill that genuinely protects people and nature.

We also have a special appearance from Fisherman Jon, the acclaimed persona of comedian Coral Bevan for a round of ‘What's On The End of My Rod?” - a live, glorious fishing game about sewage, spin, water bills, pollution and the things we are being asked to accept as normal.

All ages are welcome, no specialist knowledge is required, and the licensed bar will remain open after the event for anyone who wants to continue the conversation.

thanks

Matt

This looks fun - it was good to see some of you at the CIG yesterday and thanks Lanterna for the great pizzas!

What do you think about the threat to the Lord Napier pub that having residential units right up against its garden could bring? Have you signed the petition? Let us know your thoughts... and 30-mins of Lime bike credit is yours!
