Residents of Garden Court in Kew have been issued Section 21 eviction notices by their landlord, with @CityWestminster Council set to purchase the properties.
The Leader of the Council, Cllr @Gareth_Roberts_ has expressed deep alarm at the situation.

We've won again!
You've probably already heard the news. £14bn for Sizewell C, meaning that plant - a zero-carbon copy of Hinkley Point C - gets to go ahead. And billions more for Rolls-Royce, so that great British company can move ahead with its SMR programme.
We're not quite celebrating just yet - the so-called 'final investment decision' is set to be announced next month at an Anglo-French summit. We won't stop campaigning until the ink is dry on that agreement. We've waited too long already: the previous Tory government kept promising and did nothing.
"No more dithering, no more delay," said the Prime Minister today - echoing nearly exactly the words of a petition we recently sent to energy secretary @Ed_Miliband demanding that the Government gets a move on with new nuclear build. Rolls-Royce will get the go-ahead for three of its SMRs, according to the company.

Really good event today at York House to reaffirm the twinning relationship between Richmond, Konstanz, and Fontainebleau.

This is really positive video on sustainable transport options, and how we're supporting people locally in getting around in new ways.
We've introduced new cargo bike parking bays to support young families and promote sustainable transport 🚲
This is just one of the many schemes we've introduced to help create a convenient and safe environment for cycling!

There's absolutely zero sense in listening to, reading about, or citing Putin's annual live delirium show on Russian TV during which the entire galaxy's average IQ drops significantly.
Even the chatter of woodpeckers in the forest has more meaning than three hours of Putin's brainless bravado and self-admiration that has nothing to do with the time-space continuum the world lives in.

The richest man in the world just commanded Congress to shut down the government and now nobody serving in the US military will be paid for the next two months (if not longer).
America is pretty insane at the moment.

Absolutely disgusted to see criminal damage to a camera on Hill View Road in St Margarets. This is a camera affording long-standing protection to residents incl. from displaced traffic from A316. The Council will make the safe, reinstate & press for prosecution of culprits.

Great victory for German ecologists.
In just 6 days (from 11/2 to 11/7), German electricity emitted as much CO₂ as all domestic flights in France do in 365 days.
‘Don’t fly to save the planet,’ they said…”
Belle victoire des écologistes outre-Rhin : en 6 jours seulement (2/11 au 7/11), l'électricité allemande a émis autant de CO2 que tous les vols intérieurs français pendant 365 jours, soit 3,6 millions t. "Ne prenez plus l'avion pour sauver la planète", qu'ils disaient.. #énergie
