I've written about Peterborough's incredible deaf community and my own experience of hearing loss in my @peterboroughtel column this week.

This is deeply disappointing but not surprising given the fate of TG Jones.
I’ve been speaking to the Post Office over the summer about this risk and they have been looking at alternative options.
Good to see council, Mayor & partners working together on this.
Sad news as @PostOffice announces it's to close the PO in Bridge Street #Peterborough early next year as retailer TG Jones shuts its store. The challenge is to find a new location for the Post Office. @andrewpakes_ @docshab @sam_carling_ @paulbristow79

Good to see vital role of Lido’s acknowledged by @lisanandy in Parliament today and recognition for our campaigning work @JessicaToale & Simon Opher MP

A screeching u-turn from the Mayor today reversing his plans to cut bus services in Werrington.
Good work by local councillors and others fighting for local services. But we need to keep an eye on this.

Good news on the Bretton Centre bus stop.
The gas works will go ahead by Cadent have agreed to keep the stop open.
Thanks to @PeterboroughCC @CadentGasLtd for the site visit this week and for working to find a solution.

We're lifting restrictions on disabled bus passes so they can be used to travel for free 24/7.
We're putting an end to the postcode lottery, so disabled people can access opportunity, and see friends and family whenever they want, wherever they live.

Thank you 🙏 I had the privilege today to say thank you in person to some of the crew at @PVFB286479 who have been dealing with the wildfires at Holme Fen and elsewhere across Peterborough.

Good to see new PM has banned the sale of disposable BBQs during this period because of the risk of fires.
I’ve also asked the council and government to look at banning the sale of fireworks. A big issue here. We need to reduce risks.

Hottest summer on record, drought & wildfires.
Responding to the immediate crisis is vital to keep people safe.
But as @andyburnham says we also need to respond to the causes of the climate crisis.
We need to do both.
Peterborough Labour Party retweeted
We all have a role to play in keeping our city and community safe in this hot weather.
I’ve joined with @sam_carling_ @docshab to urge people to think again before letting off fireworks, using disposable BBQs or lighting fires during the heatwave.
Let’s work together.
Peterborough Labour Party retweeted
Thank you to all our emergency workers during this heatwave especially our fire fighters.
We have more heat to come. Please be vigilant and stay careful..Think about whether you need to use a disposable BBQ or let off fireworks during this time.
We can all help play our part.

Out on the harvest this week with Jim, Michael and team for the Spring Barley. Hot weather, little rain and harvest earlier this year. Always a pleasure to listen & learn.
Peterborough Labour Party retweeted
A day on the harvest. Thanks to Michael, Jim & team for letting me spend some time on the Spring Barley harvest today & to hear more firsthand about our changing climate.

Making a splash 🏊♂️🏊♂️🏊♂️
The hot summer means we have seen record numbers at Peterborough Lido🏊♂️☀️
82,000 this year so far compared to 60,000 at this point last year.
A great summer for its 90th anniversary 🙏

Spot on. Disposable BBQs are a risk during this heatwave.
Good to see @coopuk leading the way and being one of first retailers to suspend sales during this period.
Peterborough Labour Party retweeted
Higher temperatures & love of a lido.
Impressive figures here - 82,000 people have used Peterborough Lido since it opened this year, compared to 60,000 for year before.
These pools are assets for us all. They need cherishing & protecting for the future

This is so good - Labour to tackle nuisance fireworks.
Thanks to @Kate_Dearden for leading the charge in government and to the animal welfare and veterans groups who have been working on this ❤️

Hey @Conservatives what’s going on here?
You suspended this candidate nearly 2 weeks ago for antisemitism allegations but your local volunteers are using these today?
Peterborough Labour Party retweeted
This is really disappointing by Peterborough Conservatives.
This candidate was suspended nearly 2 weeks ago - antisemitism concerns - but locally the are still using Conservative branded materials

Former Conservative candidate Ishfaq Hussain is still appearing on campaign posters across Peterborough on polling day despite the party withdrawing support after allegations over offensive social media posts.
Both signs were photographed today within a mile of Peterborough Conservative HQ.

Ishfaq Hussain was suspended by the Conservatives over 10 days ago.
Disappointed to see local Tories still delivering Conservative branded materials for him in recent days.
