I think I’m supposed to do some sort of “This week as your cllr” and pretend to really important! So here goes my attempt: This week I helped support my amazing officers by putting on a bunny costume to help them deliver eggmazing easter for the children in the parish.

Helping out Swindon Story Shed in GWR Park for a sunny Blossom Festival with South Swindon Parish Council - pop along, say hi, and do some awesome activities with the Story Shed team! 🌸✏️🌸 #choosebookshops #havebookshopwilltravel #local #community #literacy #FamilyActivities

A huge shout out to Swindon Outlet! This is amazing

A great way to share some care to kids in hospital this Easter and try the new cycling track especially with the spring weather improving.

Tell me you failed to understand the hugely damaging impact of austerity, and the fact most public sector departments where originally cut beyond their means to actually operate without saying that

Knowledge is like money: to be of value it must circulate, and in circulating it can increase in quantity and, hopefully, in value.

The Parkside hub works, are now completed, public opening date is coming soon

I’m proud to be supporting Neurodiversity Celebration Week 2025! 🌟 This week is all about challenging misconceptions, breaking down barriers, and celebrating the incredible strengths and talents of neurodivergent individuals. #NeurodiversityWeek #NCW #ThisIsND www.neurodiversityweek.com

Turns out I’m not the only one watching a performance tonight. Shame the Tories couldn’t actually come up with any better ideas and just opposed for the sake of it!

Spring is starting in Penhill Park

😀 Swindon has been shortlisted in the #LGCAwards 2025. Our ‘Most improved council’ entry drew on feedback from residents, colleagues & the views of Ofsted & the LGA to evidence progress in improving services, strengthening engagement & our organisational culture. awards.lgcplus.com/2025/en/page...

What an awesome idea. As someone who lives in a flat, I simply don’t have the space for tools for once in a while use!

One of the perks of being a cllr is being asked just to attend local community events. Absolutely lovely evening ❤️

Was great to swing by CSNPC Winter wonderland

Attending a parkrun is like being a cllr, it’s never about you and always about the amazing volunteers that turn up in all weathers, it’s also about the people you run with, who need encouragement or encourage you to push for more.

Actual chills visiting the old Penhill bowls club this morning

From £1 Billion to £408.5 million that’s a crazy amount of funding to lose medium.com/@ntuft/the-p...
