A new term and new adventure for me as I step into the world of consultancy with downshire-safeguarding.co.uk….
This is totally counterproductive @little_pengelly The vast majority want politicians to govern and work together. Druncree does not sort out health or education and most of us are fed up with the way it has inflicted our community .@moneillsf
