It was great to meet and chat with all three ward councillors today regarding the park, York’s green spaces in general, our volunteers and our ‘Make Space for Girls’ in Rowntree Park project. @MakeSpaceforGi1 @JonnyPolitics @burtiej10 @KilbanePete – at York, England

Cllr @burtiej10 & I were out on a section of Bishopthorpe Rd today speaking to residents about their parking and access requirements ahead of @KilbanePete’s decision session tomorrow (for a temporary TRO to be made permanent). Lots of good conversations & feedback.

Solidarity with striking @NEUnion teachers today. I know how reluctant you are to take industrial action. I want you to know you have my full support as a Cllr, a school Governor & as a parent of two school age children. Govt chooses to perpetuate this awful situation, not you!

Just in case anyone was wondering what’s happening with the roundabout on Scarcroft Green play area; the bearings have come away from the platform so Council staff are working with the manufacturer to get it repaired asap. 👍🏻 @ScarcroftSchool @FOScarcroft @KilbanePete @burtiej10

This is not how mental health works. Telling YP who are already struggling that the only way to get a ‘best start’ is attendance at school is going to have a negative effect on those who can’t achieve this. Extra pressure will make their problems worse, not better.5/

This is not how statistics work. Those who find school attendance easier will also be those who find exams easier. Pressuring those who find school hard to get there five minutes earlier every day won’t magically turn them into people who find exams easier. 4/

I sincerely hope @SBMatYork can take this thread as a point of learning and reflection. I know staff, parents, carers & the wider community want our schools to be *genuinely* inclusive places. And I know pupils NEED them to be. Let’s make sure we reflect that in all that we do.

This is a banner which was hung in at least three schools in York by the South Bank Trust, a MAT. It is harmful to young people and their families, and it is dishonest. This is why. 1/

School is the best place for *most* children most of the time, but schools must also be inclusive places & this sort of messaging can really undermine that. I’m pleased to say the banner at Scarcroft was swiftly removed after this was pointed out. Hoping others will follow suit.

Absolutely thrilled to be featured as a case study in the new guidance on ‘safer parks for women & girls’- showing how ANYONE can start to make a difference. Now getting some funding/support to continue to improve would be ace! Anyone? #saferparks – at York, England

This is awful. 🤬🤬🤬 If you witnessed anything please be sure to report it to Police via 101 or the online reporting form (much quicker).

Our sightscreens were vandalised over the weekend at our Little Knavesmire home. Extremely frustrating for all involved with the club given the time spent, all voluntarily. @JonnyPolitics @burtiej10 @KilbanePete @RachaelMaskell @bishyroadnet @littleknaves

After getting a lot of surprising questions about tomorrow's #LocalElection2023 in #York we made a quick explainer video this evening with the kids...aimed to be as quick & apolitical as possible...if anyone you know could do with a pre-election primer pass it on...

I’ve been out supporting our fabulous teachers again this morning for the @NEUnion strikes. They told me how much they wished a resolution could be found that will protect the profession & allow them to do what they do best: teach! Great to be joined by parents & Governors too!✊🏻

The Collective Sharehouse would never have happened without the passion & determination of Diane & @dmrowsell. I’m proud to call them friends. Proud too that David has publicly endorsed @KilbanePete, @burtiej10 & I as your local Labour candidates for May 4 theguardian.com/lifeandstyle…

A new start after 60: we planned a quiet retirement – but ended up fighting food poverty

Diane and David Rowsell were looking forward to spending more time with the grandchildren. Then they discovered how many of their neighbours in York were going hungry
