@mikesqw hey Mike. dave Harvey at BBC Points west here. Keen to chat about our wet winter and soggy spring! Gotta few mins today? Cheers!

@ashsmith43 Hi Ashley. Im a BBC reporter investigating sewage discharges into the River Coln. Can we have a chat? cheers!

@TomSykesMedia @GladiatorsTV its uncanny... you realise its not just a photography contest Tom?

PERSONAL NEWS: I know I've been quiet on here recently but I am pleased to reveal I will be appearing in the new series of @GladiatorsTV on TV tonight. My name is CANON....#Gladiators

@Feargal_Sharkey @thameswater @EnvAgency Hi Feargal. This one is in my patch, as a local BBC reporter. Wd love a chat with you if you have a moment? Cheers. Dave

So there we have it. The time has come as we surely knew it would. @thameswater's sewage overflow in Fairford, Gloucestershire has being dumping sewage into the River Coln for over 1,000 hours. That's nonstop since the 3rd Dec 2023. And the @EnvAgency does what exactly?

@digitris @Feargal_Sharkey @thameswater @EnvAgency Hi there Cllr -when are you meeting with Thames? I’m a reporter locally and interested in any outcome ..?

@westdigitaled @CranfieldUni @cranfieldmngmt This is Big News Chris! Not as big as the duck in the sewer obvs. But quite big.

@SCcrowther @EnvAgency Hi Simon. We’re covering this again on BBC west today. Can we chat more about the PFR cancellation thing? I’ll follow u so we can DM. Cheers. Dave

And on a day the @EnvAgency decide to cancel the proposed £50m Property Flood Resilience framework designed to help reduce risk! Hope all is okay.

@Roy30917150 Morning Roy. I’m covering the airport for BBC Points West. Wd you be happy to chat with me about your experience at the airport this am? Cheers. Dave.

@BristolAirport Wow! Utter chaos and really bad service. Young families being made to wait at nearly 4am due to horrific baggage delays. What’s going on? Can’t run an airport?!?

@neilsimonw1 Morning Simon. I’m reporting on the Airport for BBC Points West. Wd you be happy to tell us how things were at the airport this morning? Cheers. Dave.

@BristolAirport never fail to disappoint at baggage reclaim. Shit in February hundred times worse in June………not getting any better god help what the summer holidays bring…….#pathetic

@FlightFreeUK @MagpieR793 Hi. Shall we talk on DM? I followed you I think so DM me and we can chat.

@BBCBusinessDave Hi Dave, happy to explore this angle more if you like? Many ppl in Bristol ditching flights for climate reasons – incl @MagpieR793 currently in Edinburgh with family having travelled there on Caledonian sleeper.

Queue to get in the terminal at 5:15 at @BristolAirport. At least the sky is pretty.

@6040split @AlexD_Meredith Well we have covered Bristol Airport and climate change a fair bit. And this was a story about reopening delays so we tend to focus on one angle. But a point well made nonetheless! Thanks for the comment - good to keep us on our toes.

@BBCBusinessDave @AlexD_Meredith As expected from @BBCBusinessDave No mention of #Climatechange, never mind, it's not important

@pbkp51 Hi Paul I work for BBC Points West the local news in Bristol. Can we use your picture for our report tonight? And did you make Belfast? I hope so! Could we have a quick chat about it maybe? Thanks!

#bristolairport already been queuing for an hour outside by the longstay carpark. Flight will be quicker to Belfast than being in the actual airport. #nothopefull

@paulwtrueman Hey Paul. Another local journo keen to use your pictures if you're ok with that. I work for BBC Points West, your local TV, if you're happy for us to use them. Have you made your plane yet? Good luck!

Just got to #bristolairport. It's 5 in the morning and this is the queue for the departure gates. That building in the distance is the airport.
