I started the week off delivering my Election Special around Sea View.
Plenty of folks out in the street ready to chat, talk politics and even registering some casework!
My thanks, as ever to my amazing wife Claire (who probably delivers twice as many as me cos of all my chatting 🤣)

We're getting HuNdReDs of shrubs, bushes and trees to plant out at Scarborough's newest nature reserve near Cornelian Drive 🌿🌿
Yorkshire Water are committing to provide our local community group (Wheatcroft) with sufficient funding and some help with planting 👍
But we may need some volunteers! 🤔😘

#Zelensky has just been mugged off by the occupants of the White House.
Trump is not worthy of that office.
Starmer / Europe is left with egg on his / it's face.

The #Tory-led (and most likely, whipped) #NorthYorkshireCouncil just voted against a motion to vastly reduce the use of #glyphosate (a weed killer which the #WorldHealthOrganisation has said is probably carcinogenic).

Energy companies have no regard of the legitimate concerns of locals, they routinely bulldozer their way through campaigns, objections and local authorities.
Weak government is taken advantage of (C'mon Ed Milliband, pull your finger out!)

With an average of 360 ambulance hours per day lost due to delayed handovers, the #YAS Trust loses the equivalent of 32 ambulances on a 12-hour shift per day! In December, Cat 2 response times (stroke) were 41 mins. #scarborough patients are taken directly to York adding a further 1hr. #nhs #funding

This morning, I was guest speaker at the #YMCA for the Leisure & Learning group.
Who'd know that I could talk about #scarborough400 for a full hour without notes?! 😅
Only one question caught me, - about the Town Charters (fortunately I did have some notes about them! 📝)
Thank you for the invite 😁

There is a lack of any progress being made on the rare Victorian #tennis #pavilion in Holbeck Hill #Bramcote
Dating back to the sport's inception in the 1860s the building is hugely significant.
Owners cannot be allowed to let their listed buildings decay! #scarborough

The appointment of Mandelson (twice forced to resign, Prince of Darkness with zero diplomacy credentials) highlights the dire inadequacies of contemporary politics.
The only positive I can see is that we finally get him off our shores and into #Trump Land (or perhaps not...)!

Today I joined Keep Scarborough Tidy with a South Cliff litter pick. Whilst at the gardens I saw our poor Christmas tree looking a bit worse for wear, lying on the ground following last week's storm. Tomorrow it will be back in place thanks to Parks & Gardens 🎄

In last month's budget, The Rural Services grant was scrapped and 're-purposed'. What this means to a #council such as #NorthYorkshire is a loss of circa £14 million.

When officers talk about efficiencies and savings, what they really mean are #cuts.
I predict there will be cuts. Let's see... 🙄

You may be surprised to learn that since the demise of SBC, there has been NO STRATEGY for the harbour(s). This has, in my view, left us treading water for the last two years (pardon the pun) and concerns me as the power is increasingly centralised over in Northallerton whilst our harbour silts up!

Yesterday, I asked Simon Morritt, Chief Exec of York & Scarborough Trust, of the current microbiologist industrial action and quality of care issues re blood sciences at Scarborough.
