Imagine2030 is a project running in Hammersmith and Fulham. The aim to imagine what we could have in 2030 - considering what is possible. It highlights different projects and references articles giving information on different aspects of the Climate and Ecological Emergency. There is a section called INFORMED which gives information about all sorts of solutions to the CEE and a section called INSPIRED which gives examples of where these solutions (and others) have been put into practice.

Greetings from Hammersmith 2030
Greetings from Hammersmith 2030
We reported that LBHF had published its H&F 2030: Climate and Ecological Strategy. The borough has been named top council in London for its plan - lets see if they deliver on it.
What that means in practice is a wide range of initiatives led by the Climate Change Unit - you can see all the details on their website. Some exciting things including a Library of things where you can borrow tools, a map of the borough highlighting H&Fs repair shops, a scheme to make it cheaper and easier to get solar panels, and many more things. The Council is committed to reducing emissions to zero by 2030, and not just from Council activities - all emissions across the borough. We look forward to seeing that become a reality for all of us.
4 years after closing to traffic, the debate about the future of Hammersmith Bridge rumbles on. The Council have put forward a plan involving a temporary truss which would enable traffic to return while the bridge is fixed, allowing for a full return to thousands of cars in a year or two. The biggest problem with this plan is the cost: conservatively estimated at £180 million, of which LBHF council will have to pay a third. The council proposes to recoup this by charging a toll in due course. Of course, there is an alternative involving no more spending, and also no cars. Looks like that is politically inconvenient. We wonder why the good people of Hammersmith, Fulham, Richmond and Putney can't imagine a world without cars and why we can't imagine the bridge for pedestrians and cyclists is a mystery.
So, what could it be like in LBHF? clean air, less congestion, more greenery
Over the last year we've been asking people what they imagine and have now updated these cards.
If you have other dreams why not share them with us -
