Chichester district council has agreed to spend £600,000 making the city’s East Street *worse* by replacing brickwork, that is presently in the middle, with…tarmac. Local government is 🤡 central in this country. sussexexpress.co.uk/news/politics/…


Labour want to seize sweeping new powers that would allow ministers to force pension schemes to invest in certain ways - even if that leaves savers worse off. The Pensions Minister, Torsten Bell, wants pension pots to be invested in things like net zero projects. (2/7)

A very happy day here - At long last, our @EnglishSymphony recording of the chamber version of Mahler 9 is available. Give it a listen. The virtuosity and artistry of my colleagues is remarkable. tidal.com/album/49165924…




Well this is it. My days at Worcester City Council are over and I will now be spending time on many new things. Thank you to everyone for your support during my time at the City Council. We couldn’t have done it without you.

Agreed. I think the decline of formal uniform standards is an issue with society as a whole- police, bus/train drivers, park keepers (postmen are especially scruffy looking) If they show high standards of self discipline & self respect, we can more easily respect them too.
