The Govt told councils to do #WhateverItTakes to fight #covid19 but have not followed through with enough funding. There is an impending financial crisis in our towns & cities. @Keir_Starmer has called on the Govt to keep their promises over funding councils & communities need.

We've set out plans to get the city moving again safely as coronavirus restrictions start to ease, including more space for social distancing, walking and cycling. Here's one suggestion for how Grey Street could look. Find out more: socsi.in/kpiMk #councilscan

Public service crisis continues - Environment Agency reports 'overhweling' increase in pollution incidents linked to climate change so they are...... reducing the number they respond to. Union calls it "unacceptably risky". bit.ly/2VXxhkc

This reminds me of the cockerel who thinks his crowing made the sun come up. Labour designed and voted through the climate emergency policies in @NewcastleCC and indeed in the UK parliament. #nccmeets

Horrible that the opposition excuse government cuts - austerity is not spin & LDs share responsibility for it. The local LD budget amends are spin for their newsletters, not a serious plan for the city. @NewcastleCC #nccmeets

Access to justice? Supreme Court President Lady Hale has appealed for people to donate to a charity whose members volunteer to help people in the civil courts who can’t afford a lawyer and for whom legal aid is no longer available thanks to the coalition & Tory governments

So disappointed that the Whey Aye Wheel got through the council's planning cttee. I put in an objection and Ouseburn Lab Cllr Paula Holland is on the cttee & voted against. The decision on the giant screen was delayed so there is time to resist that. This is not over.

It's neck and neck between the @CoopParty bee and the Lib Dem bird in the party logo world cup... You know what you need to do... Come on the bee!
