Delighted to travel to Woolwich today to take part in the @coopcouncils.bsky.social AGM & Conference. It's essential that Cllrs from all over the country contribute to the direction of travel & I'm honoured to represent District Councils (& opposition groups) UK wide on the Exec Board.

It's terrible that the operator's of Walley's Quarry continue to pollute Silverdale, Keele and the surrounding areas. Please find below my submission to the Planning Inspectorate regarding the Closure Notice Appeal.

Additional funding for Staffordshire to tackle 144,824 potholes next year. Change has begun.

JUST ANNOUNCED - A huge boost in funding for Newcastle-under-Lyme to prevent and tackle homelessness. Labour promised change - and the work of change has begun

Thank you to the local residents who contacted me this week re: the former London Hoist site. I've visited a couple of residents this afternoon, taken pictures, and will follow up with Local Authorities in the morning.

I am so, so happy to read this, it's a testament to the local community, with support from local MP Adam Jogee and Newcastle Council, that we can start to look to the future. There is still much to be done, but Adam & Labour Local Cllrs will continue to ensure the capping & measures are completed.

Labour is working hard to deliver the change Newcastle needs. We inherited a country broke and broken, but we are getting back on track. Just this week we have seen major reforms to policing and children’s social care and new investment for local bus routes - change has begun

Stay safe and warm tonight please ... Tricky trip home from the Council tonight, update in the morning.

Do you recognise this man? Staffs Police would like to speak to him after property was stolen from inside a parked car in Kidsgrove. At 1.10pm on Monday 10 September, a man opened the passenger-side door of the Ford Mondeo on Church Street and took a mobile phone, a bank card and a driving licence.

Really enjoyed my morning in Clough Hall Park with the Junior Parkrun team today. It's my 3rd anniversary with the event and 131 races in, it's going from strength to strength and it's a permanent fixture in my diary.

Just home from Morecambe after a cracking 1-0 win for @officialpvfc.bsky.social, which takes the Valiants 5 points clear at the top of the table. Hope you enjoyed the @moorlandssport1.bsky.social updates during the game.
