Hets.

I am absolutely appalled by the disgraceful scenes of violence in Southport tonight. This is a community which has faced unimaginable tragedy, and it is grieving. Such behaviour is abhorrent and only causes further harm and suffering. Officers are working around the clock to get justice for the families. It is completely unacceptable that they – and the wider community - are now being put in danger by those who would bring violence and disorder to our streets.

🩸 Blood shortage Amber alert 🩸 The @NHS urgently needs O type blood. There are over 12000 appointments available over the next 2 weeks that we need your help to fill. If you are an O type donor call 0300 123 23 23 to make an appointment or visit orlo.uk/bPTiE

Change.

@LiamThorpECHO You only seemed to suggest scrapping one based on turnout and not even the lowest. There are issues with the role, but there's a better analysis to be had than 'votes are low, so it can go'. Interesting to look at scrutiny of policing or differences compulsory voting could make

@hettywood They were both low - not sure what your point is?

Turnout for the Merseyside Police and Crime Commissioner also very low at 23.8% Considering the region has a Metro Mayor, there will be many wondering why this expensive role is also needed

Baby’s first polling day!🗳️ Baby and Spencer have an important message… Use all your votes for Labour today 🌹 Polls open until 10pm - make sure you bring photo ID #VoteLabour

@lodibridge @LiverpoolWande1 @CllrNickSmall @AngelaLabour @ElizabethLabour 'Ladies' 🙄 There's an issue with the mechanism that is taking some time to resolve. Btw, it is not always a pedestrian/cycle zone, and has resident access.

@LiverpoolWande1 Hi @CllrNickSmall, could give the ladies from City Centre South a nudge (they don't respond to tweets)? Wood St is a pedestrian and cycle zone. I was told a long time ago the bollards were going to be fixed. But nothing has happened. @hettywood @AngelaLabour @ElizabethLabour

Wheelchairs and prams in the road. Cheers mate 👍

Awful to see the wanton destruction that has happened to the garden; it had so much work and love put into it by local children and the Ukrainian community. We will be coming together with partners in the coming days to work out how we go forward and what is next for the space.

@lodibridge @MerseyRoads @lpoolcouncil @LpoolCityRegion @MerPolCC @NetworkRailLIV @merseyrail @networkrail @nationalrailenq @northernassist @CllrNickSmall @liamrobinson24 @AngelaLabour @ElizabethLabour Did I say that LCC wouldn't take action? In some of those cases the cars are on *private land* under the car park, which is the issue. Also, I agree, the police need to do more.

@hettywood @MerseyRoads @lpoolcouncil @LpoolCityRegion @MerPolCC @NetworkRailLIV @merseyrail @networkrail @nationalrailenq @northernassist @CllrNickSmall @liamrobinson24 @AngelaLabour @ElizabethLabour The council won't take any action because these cars are on the pavement? Believe me, many of us have tried contacting @MerPolCC. They won't do anything about it

Do you ever stop and think about how entitled car culture is? Moorfield Station Liverpool 7Sep23

@lodibridge @MerseyRoads @lpoolcouncil @LpoolCityRegion @MerPolCC @NetworkRailLIV @merseyrail @networkrail @nationalrailenq @northernassist @CllrNickSmall @liamrobinson24 @AngelaLabour @ElizabethLabour Looking at these this is police issue for obstruction and crossing pavement. Council can ticket those on public highway, but not private land.

Feel free to email me with your details to discuss further.

@hettywood @MerseyRoads @lpoolcouncil @LpoolCityRegion @MerPolCC @NetworkRailLIV @merseyrail @networkrail @nationalrailenq @northernassist @CllrNickSmall @liamrobinson24 @AngelaLabour @ElizabethLabour Actually it's not hyperbolic, councillor. Many people who are blind, disabled, pushing prams or those who wish not to walk out into oncoming traffic do find pavements with cars parked on them unwalkable. Please see @MerseyRoads @BadParkingLpool @LiverpoolWande1 for more info

@lodibridge @MerseyRoads @lpoolcouncil @LpoolCityRegion @MerPolCC @NetworkRailLIV @merseyrail @networkrail @nationalrailenq @northernassist @CllrNickSmall @liamrobinson24 @AngelaLabour @ElizabethLabour Thanks - Sorry this didn't go into my @'s. I understand the frustration and we're increasing wardens (though some of that is private land). Bit hyperbolic, and undermines your point, saying unwalkable though. Email is hetty.wood@liverpool.gov.uk!

@lodibridge @MerseyRoads @lpoolcouncil @LpoolCityRegion @MerPolCC @NetworkRailLIV @merseyrail @networkrail @nationalrailenq @northernassist @CllrNickSmall @liamrobinson24 @AngelaLabour @ElizabethLabour I've received no email/message about this. Where are you contacting?

@MerseyRoads @lpoolcouncil @LpoolCityRegion @MerPolCC @NetworkRailLIV @merseyrail @networkrail @nationalrailenq @northernassist @CllrNickSmall @liamrobinson24 Everyday walking past Hanover St car park. I've contacted councillors @hettywood @AngelaLabour @ElizabethLabour, but they don't respond

@CllrNickSmall @lodibridge @MerseyRoads @Merseysidersp @AngelaLabour @ElizabethLabour They're currently broken, but will hopefully be fixed soon!

@lodibridge @MerseyRoads @Merseysidersp I don't, sorry. It's in City Centre South ward. @hettywood @AngelaLabour + @ElizabethLabour are the councillors and should be able to help.

Why won't the Government give a firm timetable on publishing a response on managing pavement parking? This issue blights many communities and local councils outside of London simply don't have the powers they need to address it properly.

Fixing the housing crisis: What we can do locally, what do we need nationally? All welcome to our housing policy discussion with @LordWajidKhan, @liamrobinson24 & @hettywood next Wednesday. RSVP here: merseysidefabianshousing.rsvpify.com

@maggiejane1985 Maltesers from what I can see. More as we get it.

As I prepare for my third evening in the Town Hall for the Liverpool Council finance and resources committee, one member is currently killing the time by tucking into a McFlurry. One. Normal. Day. It’s all I ask.

@artsnobsolution Sending so much love x
