Renewable Energy Statistic Corrected
An article published on June 28, 2026, titled 'UK Renewable Energy Hits New Milestone,' incorrectly stated that renewable sources accounted for 55% of the UK's electricity generation in May 2026. The correct figure is 48%, according to the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero. The error originated from a miscalculation of data from the National Grid. The Guardian apologizes for the mistake.
Urban Gardening Feature Attribution Fixed
A feature on urban gardening in London, published on July 1, 2026, misattributed a quote about community green spaces. The quote, 'These gardens are lifelines for city dwellers,' was spoken by Maria Lopez, a community organizer, not by Dr. James Thompson, an urban ecologist, as originally stated. The correction has been made in the online version.
Other Clarifications
A photo caption in the July 2 edition misidentified the location of a protest as Birmingham; it was actually in Manchester. The image has been updated with the correct caption. Additionally, a review of a new restaurant in the July 1 food section incorrectly listed the opening hours; the restaurant is closed on Mondays, not Tuesdays. The online listing has been amended.
The Guardian regrets these errors and is committed to accuracy. Corrections are noted in the print edition and online. If readers spot further errors, they are encouraged to contact the readers' editor.
