Yesterday's public meeting was much improved. Well organised, well chaired, and a good range of views. Support for the scheme, including from Burnage residents, came across very strongly. Well done and thank you
@ManCityCouncil.

I have been closed under T3, with a covid capacity of only 16 people indoors, split over 3 rooms. Yet this is ok. I am sure you share my pain @Sacha_Lord @MayorofGM

It's awful that @XRLondon are currently fighting to stop 27 council homes being built for the sake of 6 trees. Even tho the council is planting 60 trees 🤷♂️
It gives anyone with a distaste for poor people the bandwagon they need. 😔
Thanks for the nimbyism XR.

We need to buckle up, double down & strengthen our resolve to fight for basic human rights (denoted in this guidance as 'victim narratives' 😳)
Excellent customer service from @Dovesfarm about a mini mishap with my order. Thank you and take care of yourselves in these busy times ❤️

Join us on Friday 1st of November at Prince's Park in Irlam! Don't miss the eerie Bones of Paine Parade starting at 6.30PM, featuring our ghostly Bones of Paine puppet, scary Skellybobs, live music and deadly dancers!
Salford skies will sparkle with roaring bonfires and breath-taking firework displays this and next week. It's safer to go to an organised display, and there is much more fun things to see and do. salford.gov.uk/events/bonfir…

Your #MondayMorning reminder that it’s #MuseumHour tonight @ 8pm (UK time) with guest-host @LanaPajdas. This week we’re discussing how museums make us feel as visitors and as staff. This discussion is likely to be emotive and all feelings should be considered valid and respected.
