I’ve just signed the CPRE, Campaign to Protect Rural England petition calling for a reliable bus service for every community. Improving public transport should be at the heart of building back better after the pandemic. Will you join me? takeaction.cpre.org.uk/page/74256/pet…

Cilip Disability Network. Great to see this launched. Hopefully, it will trigger a wider interest in the staffing and customer base of all libraries.

On climate change there is not a chance that our Government will do anything meaningful. Cancel airport expansion, curtail the roads program, tax aviation fuel, ban short haul flights, etc, etc, etc.

Libraries have been part of my life for over 70 years - as a borrower, student, library assistant, and librarian. I have worked with some great staff and enjoyed helping my customers. My field was public libraries. Happy days.

Good to see Willesden junction toilets fully operational and able to be used. Thank you.

Woke agenda war? What is all this nonsense that the Government keeps going on about? Time this Government grew up! We can make up our own minds!

CILIP JanFeb Information Professional. Enjoyed several articles this time including the News Feature on digital lending; We are CILIP; reports from networks. Great stuff. Keep it coming!

🚨Nature in our neighbourhoods is in trouble. 🚨 Development, decline & funding cuts have left our local parks, riversides & woods struggling. And 1 in 3 of us can’t access healthy nature near home. Help demand #NatureForEveryone 👇 action.wildlifetrusts.org/page/97831/pet…

Russian invasion. Must dust off my old Russian notes from my Library course. Putin is starting to seem like Hitler. Why stop at Ukraine? Next stop Poland, Hungary, etc. All now right wing and run by leaders intent on removing people's rights. Bit like Priti Patel and Boris!

Good background reading. Saving the wildlife is down to everyone of us plus having the right Government environmental policies in place which must not conflict.

Healthy Water courses are essential for wildlife and for us. change.org/p/royal-parks-…

Speed limit changes in Suffolk. Why is it so expensive, so complicated, so frustrating, to get speed limits altered? It costs over £10,000 plus a lot of effort just to get 40mph reduced to 30mph! Given the vast increase in traffic most of the current speed limits must be useless.

Russia's way of doing things is historic. Want a lighter view. Read Paul Gallico 'Mrs Harris Goes to Moscow'. For some reason Russia treats it's citizens as potential enemies. Ordinary people are just there to be used and abused.

I posted a note for libraries! Post yours at notes.investinlibraries.org #InvestInLibraries Brooklyn Public Library NY Public Library Queens Public Library notes.investinlibraries.org/?img=https://r…

Is it not time you got down to serious talks with tfl, etc? So far, I get the impression you are not really trying and couldn't care less about the situation.

We’re making progress restoring our waterways, including globally rare & significant chalk stream habitats like the #RiverLark- a matter I have campaigned on since my election.💧🦆 Ministers have acted and now, money from fined water companies will be ring fenced for improvements

Biomass power is just more intensive farming. But, instead of food growing, it is just burning what is grown. Isn't it?

Greenwashing, Drax, subsidies, Canadian forests. All parties involved should be ashamed. Drax Chief Executive especially.
