It was a pleasure to meet with Richard Barnes from the London Wildlife Trust at Ruislip Lido this morning.
We discussed the trust's important work to enhance this popular greenspace and to hear their thoughts on the Planning and Infrastructure Bill, which returns to Parliament next week.
I was also interested to learn about plans for rewilding London that will help to support the biodiversity that I know is so valued by residents. The Government is putting these areas under risk under pieces of legislation such as the Planning and Infrastructure Bill, and I will continue my work with Hillingdon and Harrow Councils and with colleagues in Parliament to protect these assets.
