Interesting read.

Inspiring to hear about the important work of Holocaust Centre North at tonight's #HolocaustMemorialDay event @yorkstjohn.bsky.social. Stories of survivors & their descendants linked to our region are preserved to tell history & inform our future. holocaustcentrenorth.org.uk

We campaigned to keep this open on behalf of residents & to avoid retail job losses - sad & disappointing news. www.yorkpress.co.uk/news/2484605...

Fantastic, well-deserved win for my local cafe, for the Groves & the ward. Great coffee shop, great initiative! So pleased for all involved. www.yorkpress.co.uk/news/2479607...

Great initiative, ensuring city centre active travel options are maintained! yorkmix.com/new-christma...

Thanks to residents for inviting us - their ward councillors - down to Monkbridge Landing to plant daffodil bulbs for spring colour next year - a couple of hundred in the ground. Volunteers make vital contributions to improving & maintaining York's 'public realm'.

Delighted to move a motion at Thursday night's 'Full Council' to renew York's commitment to fair trade & our status as a Fairtrade City on its 20th anniversary. Thanks to my Labour & Co-operative colleagues for seconding & speaking in favour of it, & for the cross-party, unanimous support!

On behalf of residents & Guildhall councillors, I presented the Save Foss Bank Sainsbury's petition last night at Full Council. Still time to sign it: www.change.org/p/save-foss-...

British music is booming at the top - but we’re losing the pathway so many rely on to get there. Community assets are safest in community hands. We must safeguard our incredible cultural export by bringing more grassroots venues into community ownership. https://buff.ly/3OqvPk1
