VOLUNTEERS NEEDED - PUTNEY STATION PLANTERS
The Bee Friendly Trust installed the planters at Putney Station 10 years ago. Since then, a keen group of local volunteers have looked after them, including members of the Putney Society. But the volunteers have faded away and they now need new helpers. Can you volunteer?
Expert gardening skills not needed; just a willingness to water, prune and tidy. Please contact Luke Dixon asap as the current hot weather is taking its toll on 07952 960424 or at beefriendlytrust@hotmail.com

PUTNEY AIR QUALITY IMPROVING
More good news on local air pollution: Putney Society monitoring reveals that levels of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) pollution around central Putney have fallen significantly over the last two years - a big relief, after five years of little improvement.
Even better, the biggest improvements have generally been at the sites where pollution was worst; so NO2 levels at most locations are, finally, below the UK legal limit.
