#Erin , you spoke so well about the key pollution issues, this morning. Thank you. Hope significant people listened to your well argued case. If only, known names - like #MatthewPinsent had similarly used their *voice* to make a difference. #WaterPollution #NeverTooLate

Quick version:
Queens just out of hibernation.
Hungry and house-hunting.

Don’t bring her inside.

🎉Manchester showing us the way!

Bringing buses back under public control is an ESSENTIAL first step to QUALITY bus provision across the UK.

Who thinks the rest of the UK should hop ON BOARD? 🚌

Sheffield City Council I would expect reliable buses and safe walking routes as normal and would not expect the council to consider those things as being an ambitious project.

'South Hams District Council leader Julian Brazil will urge residents to refuse to pay their water rates'.

This really is shaping up to be the water industry's summer of discontent.
