@MarkGale @Merton_Council 100% correct. Roads in Ravensbury are shocking and getting worse every day

@Merton_Council 🚧The DfT Department For Transport found @Merton_Council to be one of the worse (1 of 11) in England for Condition of Roads earlier this month. They also found they spend one of the most, showing a poor return for residents council tax with wasteful spending. #BusinessLike

Our careful financial management means better value and better services for you
We sold a council-owned company for £186m
By using some of this to clear debts, we've saved millions on interest payments which can now go to things like potholes – last year, we fixed over 1,600!

@hallaboutafrica Bulawayo in Mashonaland (Zimbabwe) - nope it’s in Matabeleland..
Indonesia
Lots of Africa history today involves Zim! Today in 1897 Southern Africa’s interior is open to passenger and cargo travel as a rail line began service between Mafeking, SA and Bulawayo in Mashonaland (Zimbabwe),making possible a rail trip from Mashonaland all the way to Cape Town

300 mature trees. 500+ saplings. Gone.
This isn’t landscaping — it’s deforestation for sport.
A canopy lost for 50 years, even if new trees survive.
Nature doesn’t grow back overnight. 🌳 #Deforestation #EnvironmentalImpact @CPRELondon

@gavcsmith You are still following me Sir.
This is a stat. A stat isn't a bait. A stat is a stat. Is an objective fact. You are calling clickbait saying that 2+2=4.

This is only the second time Tadej Pogačar has lost time to Jonas Vingegaard in the last 2 Tours, both due to bonifications. He hasn’t lost any time from Vingegaard “on the road” in TDF since Col de la Loze 2023—44 stages ago. #TDF2025
La Flamme Rouge@laflammerouge16
For the first time in this TDF Jonas Vingegaard gets time on Tadej Pogacar moving from 4'26'' to 4'24'' #TDF2025

@lenalidomid @laflammerouge16 It’s poor ‘facts’ to drive engagement
English
@laflammerouge16 He lost 2 seconds.. due to Jonas coming in 2nd on the stage which had bonus seconds and Pogi leads by over 4 mins. Put the results in context not the rubbish you posted… now I know why i stopped following you..

Yesterday @Merton_Council published the costs involved (£000s) in their regular new logos that they've been spending the max permitted Council Tax price hikes on during a #CostOfLivingCrisis @MertonLabour misguided #priorities #BoroughOfSport #BoroughOfLogos #MertonCouncilNewLogo

@MarkGale Have you seen the flyers about the tennis being shown? New Merton logo in black.. to try and not show how its new colours are exactly the same as AELTC.. it’s a joke. #BestCouncil #muckymerton #uselessbunch

@MarkGale @Merton_Council The rules are: they only answer questions that allow them to spin #UKLabour in the positive answer about all the great things #worstcouncil #muckymerton have done.
English
@Merton_Council "Ask us anything"* there are rules on what you can ask, and the answer may not also be the truth.

@Merton_Council Not if it’s a car, over grown hedge or tree.. as you do nothing about them

🚫 Tired of dodging e-bikes dumped on the pavement?
We are too.
New rules mean hired e-bikes in Merton must be parked in designated bays – or they will be removed and the riders could face penalties
We're keeping our streets clear and accessible

@MarkGale @Merton_Council @FMConwayltd And the placement of the Boundary Marker to be done better.. such a shoddy job done with it..
English
6 years ago #MitchamBridge collapsed after @Merton_Council appointed bodgers @FMConwayltd blocked the water flow using acrow props to sieve all the branches & other debris in the river during flood season.
We are still waiting for the promised "What happened report".
🤷🏻♂️Who paid?
