Yet more excellent publicity for Canterbury’s newly re-expanded park and ride facilities, reflecting how people really appreciate not having to drive through congestion, but still bafflingly anti-public transport nonsense from the Green Party (!). kentonline.co.uk/canterbury/…

26 passengers got on seven buses in one hour - should revived service stay?

We visited a reopened park and ride service as a debate rages over whether running the double-decker diesel buses is bad for the environment.

Proud of being a member of the Labour-led administration that's re-opened the Sturry Road Park and Ride in Canterbury but council-subsidised Range Rovers is a bold new take on the Greens' so-called transport policy... kentonline.co.uk/canterbury/…

‘Priceless’ or ‘waste of money’? We speak to commuters as park and ride reopens

Commuters have expressed their delight at the return of a “priceless” park and ride service - although critics still believe it is a “waste of money”

The fishermen's tree at Whitstable Harbour is once again getting us in the festive mood. Spectacular! Harbour Board Chairman, Cllr Chris Cornell, said: "It brings Christmas joy to the harbour and is a firm favourite with everyone in the town. A big thank you to the fishermen!"

Great job, @WhitstableNaomi, for standing up for your residents in #Seasalter as they are trapped in their homes from the fear of walking down unlit roads. Naomi has asked KCC to provide street lighting for these residents. #StandingUpForWhitstable kentonline.co.uk/whitstable/… – at Canterbury, England

‘We feel trapped in our homes without street lights at night’

Elderly residents feel “trapped in their homes” because a route from their retirement homes is unlit and feels dangerous to walk along.

Good to meet up with @theMelzebra Cabinet member for Biodiversity and Climate Change and local naturalist @andyswalecliffe looking at the state of Swalecliffe Brook. There appears to be more incidents of contamination in the last 4 years. Lots of questions need answers…

Very proud to have proposed a Cost of Living and Living wage motion at @canterburycc full council last. Making CCC Living wage employer helps lift people out of poverty. 60% of Canterbury residents who are in ‘absolute poverty’ are in work! Time for positive change.
