I don’t normally tweet restaurants, but one of the best (and I’ve been to a few) is Taberna13, off Oxford Street at 13-14 Terminus Terrace SO14 3DT. Authentic Portuguese cooking, with some real unique gems. (Note I am not connected with them in any way!) IG taberna13_southampton

Great you’re developing our neighbourhoods for local people. Need to clamp down on use of mobile phones while driving too - distraction is one of the biggest contributors to accidents. Maybe we could discuss strategy for making our neighbourhoods more vibrant & connected also? 🏡

Thank you for organising! - this is a great opportunity to see/preview Ayo Akingbade’s Show Me The World Mister, and Billie Zangewa’s A Quiet Fire exhibition too, right? - I’m certainly looking forward to it 😊

Having been away, sad to hear about the fire at Platform Tavern earlier this month. This local iconic pub and music venue deserves saving: crowdfunder.co.uk/p/help-save-th…. Charlie has more info, incl. other fundraising events in Nov/Dec: in-common.co.uk/2023/10/26/145…. #savetheplatformtavern

Best late than never…😊 Apologies to my followers, as not been active on here much lately…

If you are not already aware, do support Board In The City, who are an outstanding Community Hub, and one which many local groups are already involved - gofundme.com/f/save-board-i…

Another great Community Hub we should be supporting is October Books in Portswood; and great to see they are being featured as ‘Community Legends’ - as part of the ‘City Reflections’ light show coming to the Bargate walls by Westquay, 14-23 Feb, 6-9pm. octoberbooks.org/blogs/news/na-…

If you missed the Chinese Lunar New Year celebrations couple of weeks ago, come join the fun of the Lantern Festival parade/various activities on Sat (15 Feb), ~2.30pm Guildhall Sq./Above Bar/West Quay, which marks the traditional end to the celebrations.🐍visitsouthampton.co.uk/events/chinese…

Surprised at what is going on in the world right now? - I cannot believe people have such short memories. forbes.com/sites/steveden…

In case you’re not aware, our *free* annual Science and Engineering Festival returns next Sat (15 Mar). With ~1,000 exhibitors, 10 themed zones & thousands of people expected, do register soon or check the full timetable of events & activities going on! sotsef.co.uk

Would also welcome support from any of my followers. (Sorry not been posting much lately - tend to run more “in person” events now.) Thank you

Couldn’t agree with Stephen more -having worked locally with him to communicate these issues. At local level, we need improved strategies for dealing with air pollution, particularly from road transport. Hopefully Healthy Low-carbon Transport Hub can help! tinyurl.com/dhpanes3

It’s 200 years since the birth of the modern railway, and ‘Inspiration’ train is coming to Southampton Central Station 14-16 Dec. Don’t miss this free exhibition if you want to experience some of the history and innovation that make up our modern railways! railway200.co.uk/inspiration
