Congratulations to Cllr Simon Eardley on his appointment as Sheriff of #Chester and Cllr Margaret Parker as Deputy Lord Mayor. We pay tribute to an exceptional year of service by the outgoing Lord Mayor, Cllr Razia Daniels, who has served our city with distinction and energy. 👏

Delighted to join Chester Business Club on a panel discussion on Thursday evening for their ‘Devolution Dialogue’ event. Really interesting thoughts shared across the room in what will clearly be a hugely important decision for the #Cheshire and #Warrington region.

Truly awful - if story is correct.

Great effort from our teams in Little Neston today. We covered a lot of ground, engaging with residents on hundreds of doorsteps about local issues and the prospect of an elected Mayor for #Cheshire. Big thanks to all the team who joined us from across the borough and beyond.

🆕We are very concerned about the continued rise in #flytipping across #Cheshire West & #Chester, revealed again in the latest statistics from the council.

The last 18 months have demonstrated that the current Council political leadership aren’t listening. They have lurched from one crisis to the next, failing to accept responsibility for actions (or non-action). Local residents are aware of this reality after 10 years of Labour

Tonight and Friday sees consequential votes on social policy in #Parliament. The reality that effectively abortion up to birth, and assisted dying could be introduced via an amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill and a Private Member’s Bill is concerning. No matter your view

The polling shows that the public ranked introducing ‘abortion up to birth’ at the bottom of a list of 20 possible priorities they want the the House of Commons to pursue. ✍️ Steerpike spectator.co.uk/article/poll-t…

The House of Commons voting to decriminalise abortion means that it will be legal to terminate a full term baby just before birth. This is morally wrong and I voted against it on a free vote. Another brick pulled out of the wall of Britain’s moral fabric.
