You’ve never heard a Christmas single quite like this before. @EdwardJDavey and Bath Philharmonia Young Carers' Choir present: “Love is Enough” - in support of @bathphil and @CarersTrust. Out tomorrow! 🎁❄️

I'm stopping using Twitter and starting up on BlueSky. I don't want to be on platform run by @elonmusk anymore. There are not as many people on BlueSky, but that was so for Twitter years ago when it was the main social network for Shropshire. andybodders.bsky.social. @kit2kat

Farmers are voting for Matthew Green and the Lib Dems in South Shropshire

Time to launch my manifesto: 1. Creation of a new meal between breakfast and brunch 2. If it's not sunny on a bank holiday everyone gets a rollover until it is 3. Legally declare that nostalgia isn't as good as it used to be 4. Rename the Isle of Dogs (it's actually a peninsula) 5. Rejoin the EU but let everyone who voted to leave pretend that we still have 6. Creation of a new meal between brunch and lunch

Don't think Rishi Sunak was aware that a boat filled with Lib Dems popped up behind him on the campaign trail today... And I'm pretty sure that's the Lib Dem Deputy Leader, Daisy Cooper on it too...

A Public Space Protection Order on dog control has come in force today. Dogs must be kept on a lead on the highway, Dog walkers must clean up their dogs poo, unless the walker is exempt due to disability or the dog is exempt because it is a working dog. andybodders.co.uk/2024/06/01/new…

@allaboutclait Season tickets cannot be transferred between car parks. Sorry

@andybodders hi, I read your web site on parking in Ludlow. Please do you know whether a weekly parking ticket purchased for Smithfield can be used in any other car parks? I'm thinking you may be wasting your money if you turn up the next day and can't get a space.

@ShropsWildlife Your recent post with Friends of Whitcliffe Common seems to link rough sleepers with damage to the common. The post is inaccurate and discriminatory. SWT should be above this sort of meme

The battle to save Craven Arms household recycling centre makes the front page of the Ludlow Advertiser. If you haven't signed the petition, please do. We are still short of 8,000 signatures and why should we not aim higher? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/save…

Nearly 100,000 signatures to save the Darwin Oak from the axe by Shropshire Council. Please sign if you haven't already change.org/p/save-the-dar…

Drug use in Ludlow has got worse and crime with it. The police disagree andybodders.co.uk/2023/12/04/dru…

@ITSLeeds I read of the research for @friends_earth on bus provision in rural areas. Is this report available. Tx.

@KeriTrigg_LDR @CountyTimes @ShropshireStar @WrekinHG @DRobertson_Star @TelfordLDR We will miss you Keri. You have served Shropshire well and fairly. xx

@CountyTimes @ShropshireStar @WrekinHG @DRobertson_Star So anyway, it's goodbye from me (until next week when I will change this account over to reflect my new role), and I will introduce you to my replacement Shropshire #LDReporter when there is one! In the meantime hassle @TelfordLDR who will be filling in. Byeee x

Well that's a wrap, I have filed my last story as Shropshire's #LDReporter! (It's about a chicken farm, obviously.) A lil 🧵

@damiengayle Thanks for the article on Darwin's Oak. This article details the scurrilous attempts by the council to exclude those who care about the environment from the meeting andybodders.co.uk/2023/11/01/con…

Statically minded people. Is there a name for a fallacy in the following scenario. In favour of scheme 1%. Against 2%. 97% of those that could respond did not. Therefore the decision maker argues that 98% of the population are in favour (counting no response as in favour)

@OfKawczynsk You have been to more then 2 planning committees in Shropshire. You spoke at the Battle Incinerator planning meeting more than a decade ago. You got so angry you were warned by Claire Porter, then head of Legal and Democratic service, who told you to calm down

BREAKING: Lib Dem gain in the Shropshire Council division of Alveley & Claverley

South Shropshire’s Lib Dem parliamentary candidate Chris Naylor @CantWeDoBetter is here supporting Colin Taylor. Chris says a 3rd Lib Dem by-election win in South East Shrop (after neighbouring divisions of Highley and Worfield) would be a “major triumph” for the party.

@KeriTrigg_LDR Happy birthday. Sorry to hear you are going. You have contributed so much to keeping people informed about what is happening in the county

Shoutout to Shropshire Council for my birthday present - a thrilling cabinet meeting to attend this morning 🎈 🎂 ..and.. It’s going to be my last one before I leave in a couple of weeks! I’ve had a blast as a #LDReporter but it’s time for a rebrand. Is this a midlife crisis?!

@KeriTrigg_LDR Remarkable that the council decided to keep it secret. It is a public body handling public money.

A council audit is being carried out into the North West Relief Road project but has hit delays, it has been revealed. #LDReporter #viafoura-comments-container" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">shropshirestar.com/news/local-hub…
