Ridiculously early start today to get my son on the train to London for a school trip. He visited Parliament and the London Eye. And I delivered leaflets in Sherwood. Very jealous! Can't wait for Mum's taxi duties to end tonight. I have definitely earned a glass of 🍷! @prestonlibdems.bsky.social

This year's #IWD2025 theme is about Rights, Equality and Empowerment. Liberal Democrat women do an amazing job of this in Preston, speaking on behalf of all Women. I am proud and in awe of them all. @prestonlibdems.bsky.social

Good news! Lancashire County Council have inspected the damaged grass verge on Greystock Avenue, and have said that they will carry out remedial works.
Evidence of your Local Lib Dem team working hard for you on county council issues.

Four blocked drains reported on Manor Avenue today. They were completely blocked with soil, so not a new problem. I got a few funny looks when taking photos though!

Now my knee is getting a bit better, I am out and about spotting things that need attention in our community. Today I reported that there is lots of bird poo on the bench on Garstang Road near Parklands Drive junction. Hopefully PCC will get that cleaned up so we can use it again soon...

It's literally been a 💩 day today!
To help a frustrated Greyfriars resident, I dealt with a report of multiple dog poo bags being left outside their property at the junction of Scott's Wood and Janice Drive.

I have received two complaints today about bags of rubbish that have been dumped in the watercourse at Levensgarth Park, Fulwood. I have reported this to the Environment Agency and to Preston City Council. Hopefully it will be shifted before the next storm comes in. @prestonlibdems.bsky.social

A planning application has been submitted to change the former newsagents on Broadway to a pizza takeaway. The proposed opening times are 16:30 to 22:30. Please view and comment using the planning portal. I can't see anything about signage in the application.

That's the last of my Greyfriars community surveys out now. It's always nice when you knock on a door and they say "Hello Fiona!" before you even introduce yourself. No casework today - it's my neighbourhood so regularly checked! And now for a nice relaxing evening 🍷 @prestonlibdems.bsky.social

I am relieved that the Assisted Dying bill has passed the first reading. I believe we should be afforded a choice on how we die, rightly with a lot of safeguards in place. Having the ability to die with dignity is an important milestone in our civilised society.

I have been off all social media and podcasts since the Trump win as I just couldn't face listening to any of the commentary. Now back and amazed by how many new followers I have on here. Thank you! Now very much back in action delivering surveys and doing casework for my community. #prestonlibdems

Notification postcard received from National Highways regarding ash dieback work on the M55 junction 1 overnight on 4-5 November and 11-12 November. I will be asking them what their plans are for replacement planting.

You know that a Greyfriars action day is going to go well when the first door opens and says "Hello Fiona"! I arranged a red lidded recycling bin repair for that lady, followed by a lot of good quality conversations on the doorstep. Mainly highways issues.
Please return the surveys we left with you.

Leaflet delivery today in Sharoe Green on Merton Avenue and Sharoe Green Lane. Good to see the broken glass and overgrown hedge that I previously reported have now been sorted out. Blocked drain reported. And a quick look at the access to the proposed HMO on Sharoe Green Lane. #PrestonLibDems.

That's the last of my Greyfriars leaflets delivered to residents.
As well as keeping an eye on some planning matters, I reported multiple blocked drains, a wonky 20mph street sign and a (very) dead squirrel in the middle of the pavement.
