I can’t actually believe this has happened. I met Roann years ago not that long after her mum was murdered. Reading a summary of the story in a news report doesn’t come close to the reality. I thought this govt were serious about MVAWG www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...

Not a penny of this grant will go to global parasites like Amazon. We are going to spend as much as possible with local independent businesses just like we did with Outsiders.

Amongst all the East London Group watercolours, this is one of my absolute favourites. This is "Early Morning at Abbey Mills" by Elwin Hawthorne from 1928. I believe that it might show part of either what was the West Ham Gas Works or the Abbey Mills Chemical Works. #EastLondonGroup #SaturdayMorning

When Essex planned to close a third of its libraries, thousands of residents refused to let it happen. Protests, petitions and persistence forced the council to about-turn – now, every library remains open, some with imaginative refurbs. @jennyrhodes42.bsky.social reports

If coastal erosion was threatening central London, you can bet the government would move heaven & earth to solve it... 🌊 Here in North Norfolk, where we have one of the fastest eroding coastlines in Western Europe, we expect that same level of urgency to tackle this emergency.
