The consultation on the future of #Devon's libraries closes ON 22 FEB. Meet @exeterlibrary.bsky.social team in Bedford Square #Princesshay this Thurs. There’ll be music, fun & info on why #LibrariesMatter. Have your consultation say here: devonlibraries.commonplace.is?utm_source=l... #Exeter

It’s all so bloody predictable and depressing 👇🏻 Trump rolling over & letting the war criminal #Putin tickle his tummy… (meanwhile Starmer fawns over Trump & Lammy fawns over Vance🙄) #Ukraine #PeaceDeal #PutinsWar #SundayPolitics

An afternoon spent walking #Exeter’s wonderful #GreenCircle is an afternoon well spent… www.instagram.com/p/DNbSsFIM6k... #LoveExeter

Eighty years since #VJDay, two moving ceremonies in #Exeter today… First, the minute’s silence at #ExeterCathedral Green War Memorial at midday, then the commemoration event in Northernhay Gardens this afternoon. Your poem was brilliant @clarebryden.bsky.social. #WeWillRememberThem #VJDay80

It’s great to see the refurbished @exeterlibrary.bsky.social #ChildrenLibrary - with its new sensory area, floating mezzanine & dedicated zones for older kids - reopening this Saturday. Loads of fun stuff happening in #Exeter Library during the #SummerHolidays too! #LoveLibraries #LoveExeter

The newly transformed and fully refurbished Children’s Library at Exeter Library reopens THIS SATURDAY 16 August! 🧒📚✨ The new space features a magical sensory area, floating mezzanine, and dedicated zones for older kids. #LoveLibraries

As we prepare for #VJDay80, an extraordinary segment on #BBCBreakfast this morning on the #CallingBlighty Films... Poignant & moving and a reminder of the debt we owe to servicemen who fought in the Far East during #WW2. #VJDay

A beauty for today's #FoxOfTheDay , shared by @jaynebond_studiomlino on Instagram . Thank you Jayne !

It's never too late to start — Quotes brought to mind by one of the threads in this morning's sermon — with @mrjohnharvey.bsky.social at @exetercathedral.bsky.social #Poetry #Poetry #MaryOliver #Life

MPs must still oppose the cuts to #DisabilityBenefits today… They must ask themselves this simple question - ‘In what moral universe can it be wrong to take away support from people in need today, but not for those in the same need tomorrow?’ #TakingThePIP #R4Today

Some #MorningReflections as I walk into the city 👇🏻 (&, no, if you’ve never experienced being in #MentalHealth Crisis, don’t come at me with your advice please…) #MentalHealthMatters #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek www.instagram.com/mr_john_harv...

Another day, another #StagecoachSW service not turning up… (& then a driver without an apology). The reality - #Stagecoach SW really are a bunch of pirates who couldn’t run a bath, never mind a bus service that reflects an actual timetable. #Exeter deserves better 🤬.

It’s #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek and here are some important contacts 👇🏻 Of course #ReachOut when you can, but please people #ReachIn to friends, family, loved ones - because when you’re in a #MentalHealth crisis, reaching out is really F****** hard. #MentalHealthMatters

On a perfect Summer evening it would be rude not to go for a wander to take in views of #Exeter - high above #WestExe, #Exwick, #StThomas & round to #Alphington… Having time to think about stuff & to hear #ExeterCathedral & Church Bells peeling for #VEDay80 ❤️ #LoveExeter

Hope the flag will be flying high at county hall!

On this #VEDay80 I’m thinking of my Dad (JCH). My Dad, my absolute hero, fought in the Desert and was a POW in Italy & then Austria. At a time of such extraordinary uncertainty, it’s more important than ever to give thanks for those who have protected our freedom. #ThankYou

In a time of uncertainty & turmoil, it’s welcome to see #DevonCountyCouncil are sponsoring #ExeterPride this year. There’s no place for hate in our city - only love… #YouLoveWhoYouLove #Pride #ExeterPride #LoveIsLove #Exeter

Good luck today to my fellow Exeter Labour candidates for the Devon County Council Election 2025 @roselell.bsky.social Lucy Findlay, Yvonne Atkinson, @paula4council.bsky.social , Liz Pole, Carol Whitton @mrjohnharvey.bsky.social Tony Badcott & James Cookson #VoteLabour #DCC2025Election

Well this was a lovely way to spend the last morning of the #DevonCountyCouncil #LocalElections2025 campaign 👇🏻 #Devon #ExwickAndStThomas #CommunityChampion #CakeIsGoodForYou #Exeter www.instagram.com/mr_john_harv...

Shut down the youth clubs. Sell off the playing fields. Put up "no ball games" signs. Make public places hostile to teenagers. Then: "Young people, eh? Always indoors looking at their phones."

Just over 2 weeks until the next #StThomas Library #QuizNight. Hoping to get along again (and to have a better team performance than last time 🫣😂). If you haven’t yet discovered our great local library at the heart of #Exwick & St Thomas, check it out! www.facebook.com/share/p/1AfK...

Another great evening on the doors in #StThomas today, ahead of the #DevonCountyCouncil elections… Lots of support for Labour 🌹 and sending jh - a fully signed-up member of the awkward squad & champion for #ExwickAndStThomas - to #Devon County Hall on 1st May… #Exeter #ActionNotWords

“This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.” Happy St George's Day 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (...& Happy Birthday Will) #StGeorgesDay

One of the reasons why I’m standing to be a Devon County Councillor is because I want to use my personal experiences to help others. As a young person with experience of SEND issues, I’m ready to be a voice for struggling children and families waiting to get support in.

May he rest in peace and rise in glory 🙏 #PopeFrancis

Happy Easter ✝️ An early start this #Easter Sunday - going to #Exeter Cathedral for The Easter Liturgy as dawn was breaking. #HappyEaster #Devon www.facebook.com/share/p/1Rz7...

Another great morning on the doors in #ExwickAndStThomas, then I hopped across #Exeter to support my good friend Tony Badcott, @teamlabouruk.bsky.social’s brilliant candidate in #DuryardAndPennsylvania 🌹 Make sure our city has a strong voice at Tory-run #Devon County Council - #VoteLabour on 1 May…

Thank you to everyone working in the #NHS in #Exeter & #Devon this weekend 💙 Having recently experienced your brilliant care, I’m more grateful than ever for all that you do 🙏

Campaign Win! #Exwick’s Isleworth Road - full of #potholes - is to be resurfaced this financial year (2025/26). Constant campaigning by the local #Exeter @teamlabouruk.bsky.social team has got a result! #ExwickAndStThomas #VoteLabour #ActionNotWords www.facebook.com/JohnHarvey4E...

Changes are coming to the #Stagecoach South West #Exeter Bus Timetable… www.stagecoachbus.com/promos-and-o... Welcome changes to the frequency of the E service - but big improvements to #Stagecoach reliability are essential and bus stop improvements needed. www.facebook.com/share/p/15Y6...

Good to be out & about in #Exwick this evening - listening to local concerns and picking-up local casework accordingly. Great response - again - on the doorsteps… #Exeter #VoteLabour #LocalElections25 #DevonCountyCouncil

Standard awful #StagecoachSW service earlier… Wherever I am in #Exeter and whatever the time & the #Stagecoach service, it’s either delayed or doesn’t show up (this morning it was both)… #Devon @labouruk.bsky.social has a plan for improving #Devon #BusServices - #VoteLabour on May 1st 🌹

City score when jh is in the Big Bank with his bestie ❤️🤍 #Exeter #ECFC

Up the City tonight ❤️🤍 #ECFC #Exeter

Thank you @mrjohnharvey.bsky.social for listening. Lots could be done to give real choices to families about how to travel to school & work. Win win for precious family time, reducing congestion, pollution, addressing climate change. Plus happy times 🛴🚴🚶‍♀️🧑‍🦽cycling, scooting, wheeling or walking.

It was great to take time to meet with James Diamond, Chair of @exetercycling.bsky.social, yesterday… We talked about ‘quick wins’ and safety at school drop-off & pick-up times… Real practical opportunities for working with #Exeter #Cycling Campaign in #Exwick & #StThomas…

I’m loving the new #WestOfTheRiver Magazine - and it was good to ‘do my bit’ in supporting the magazine today by helping with deliveries to people in our special corner of #Exeter. #ExwickAndStThomas #Exwick #StThomas #ActionNotWords www.facebook.com/share/p/1ATM...

Lovely to be back in #Exeter today to support our wonderful candidates in the county council elections & MP Steve Race.

Great to be out on the doors in #Exwick with my friend Hannah Packham today… Once again, a terrific reception from the people of #ExwickAndStThomas… #VoteLabour on May 1st to get a serious individual with a great track record who’ll deliver for our special part of #Exeter & #WestExe…

The Royal Air Force is landing in Exeter on 4–5 April, bringing a free, action-packed family event to Cathedral Green from 09:00 to 16:30 each day. More: news.exeter.gov.uk/raf-exeter-t...

Waste and recycling crews have recently struggled to access several residential roads in Exeter due to cars parked on corners. The issue is preventing vital services from reaching homes—posing a risk not only to collections but also to emergency response. More: news.exeter.gov.uk/residents-ba...

Minimum wage for a 9-5 full time job (40 hours a week) is, as of today, £25,396 a year for anyone over 21. Which is why it's amazing to see journalism jobs requiring a degree, job experience, and driving licence advertised at a "competitive salary" of £22,380. tindlenews.co.uk/careers/jour...

Popped along for another fab & scrummy pay-what-you-can lunch at Love Food CIC today - and reminded that #LoveFoodCIC is closed for the #Easter Break from 3pm today… There’s still #FreeFood available in the #CommunityFridge - but only until 3pm TODAY! #EasterHolidays #StThomas #Exwick

There’s lots on at #StThomas Library - our #WestExe #CommunityLibrary - during the #Easter holidays! Please remember that St Thomas Library will be closed on Good Friday & Easter Monday (21st April). #LoveYourLibrary #Exwick #Exeter
