Variety of comments from opposition members on this as you might expect. Lib Dem Cllr Rob Wilson(Copthorne) says charges scheme is "rushed and not properly thought through" while Duncan Kerr (Green/Oswestry South) agrees, warns members: "act at haste and repent at leisure".

Cllr Julian Dean calls the motion "grandstanding" and adds "you can smell the hypocrisy from the top of the county to the bottom", pointing out that the Con/Lib coalition govt first introduced changes to the winter fuel allowance in 2010.

How to turn a difficult decision into a disastrous one by acting too hastily, not considering the environmental implications and not publishing an equality impact assessment. Shropshire deserves a lot better than this.

Given the levels of excess winter deaths and elderly people in fuel poverty in Shropshire a rethink on this spiteful policy is essential.

@RoadToRuinShrop Helen Morgan MP 🔶 this is also nicer without tarmac blasted across it.

Oswestry's Green Town Council steps in to help elderly people struggling to heat their homes following the Labour government's winter fuel cuts. bordercountiesadvertizer.co.uk/news/24631672.…

The results are in...13 years of Tory rule in Government and Shropshire results in nearly every Dept forecasting an overspend and the Council likely to end its term with just £1.5m in reserves. What a legacy.

Quite a nice story here. £3,000 of a £10k grant to the Ukrainian Refugee Support Hub Committee has been returned unspent as many refugees are now "almost entirely settled in their own homes," a letter from the support hub says...

... "The members have been very grateful for the help they have received and the welcome they have had in our town at a time of huge need," the letter adds. Lovely.

Says it all really: Green Party Councillors supported by Conservatives, respond to the winter fuel emergency by getting help to those who need it most whilst Lib Dem Councillors dither. bordercountiesadvertizer.co.uk/news/24643386.…

The lovely Oswestry 10k with the dapper Mayor Mike Isherwood at the finish line. Thanks to Alan Lewis and his great team of volunteers. #oswestry10k #adrenalinesportingevents

🚌 It is deeply worrying that the Labour Government might ditch the bus fare cap in the Budget - here's why... 🧵

Torrential rain and wind doesn't deter hardy Green Councillors from litter picking on Wilfred Owen Green Oswestry.

.The Green Party is the only political party advocating #PublicOwnership of #Water. It is irresponsible to leave such a vital resource vulnerable to market forces. Windrush WASP

A lot could be said about today’s 'new milestones'. But there has been little focus on one major omission: the UK has no credible plan for how we will cope with extreme changes in the climate. That’s why I’m calling for an extra mission: a National Adaptation Plan A short 🧵

Fortunately my motion to save Oswestry Post Office was unanimously approved. Let's hope the Government takes note.
