I am currently experimenting with a survey for residents of Shevington with Lower Ground & Moor Ward. If you live in the ward, I would be grateful if you could try the survey and leave any feedback that you may have. Thank you us17.list-manage.com/survey?u=baf96…

@LizKershawDJ @CoopLive This happened to me and friends the day before a paloma faith concert at Haydock, a real headache for those who travel and book accommodation etc and to add insult to injury the ticket supplier deducted 20% out of the refund to cover their costs 🤔

20,000 people went to see ELO last night. A fan I know drove 100 miles (and back) to #Manchester @CoopLive arena, took his seat- along with all the other fans only to be told just 15 minutes before the start-time that the show was cancelled. People were shocked, dumbstruck, and ,without any explanation, baffled and upset. I've never known anything like that. He's wasted hours of his time and money on fuel, parking etc and a high-end pricey T-shirt off the band's merch stall. How come ELO and the venue let the fans get that far, making money on merch and the bars before pulling the plug that late? I trust fans will get their money back immediately from @TicketmasterUK and perhaps we could have an explanation from ELO and the venue

@jk_rowling I think it is impossible to lie to yourself and I don't thing someone's words alone are sufficient to determine whether they are good or bad. Just two different versions of oppression. That's my contribution, not that it matters 🙂

@elonmusk I believe in free speech, but it is only valuable if speakers are responsible for what they say. Censorship, Misinformation and Disinformation are all dangerous, obscure the truth and freedom. I'm sure if we talked we'd agree on some things and disagree on others, which is fine.

Just want to reiterate that this platform really is meant to support all viewpoints within the bounds of the laws of countries, even those of people with whom I vehemently disagree and personally dislike. If that doesn’t seem to be happening, please yell at me (ideally on 𝕏).

After nearly two decades in Wigan's public health team I'm taking early retirement from Friday and looking forward to the next adventure. But first I'll get the Ashes and Wimbledon out of the way. Thanks all! It's been an absolute blast.

1/2 I have just submitted my views on Wigan Council's polling station consultation – and you can do the same. Many local parents are not happy that some primary schools close for polling. This puts parents at a financial disadvantage – childcare costs or days off are needed.

2/2 Alternative venues or temporary units can be used instead — why should some parents pay when elections run? Have your say on the consultation before 31 July here: wigan.gov.uk/Council/Voting…
