What a day! Rallying at high speed, drifting, karting and even skateboarding around the UK’s only purpose built skate ring. Just one problem…. the Labour run City Council are planning to bull doze this historic motorsport venue and sell it off to warehouse developers! This site was opened in 1977, covers 37 acres of […]

It was a honour, to be hosted by Fijians serving in the British Army at the Hollymoor Community Church who have entered into a unique partnership with Christian Mission Fellowship International based in Fiji, which will provide support for military personnel stationed all across the UK. The old Hollymoor Hospital has an historic connection with […]

WE DID IT!! THANK YOU!! We achieved the target of 10,000 tests last Saturday (the 13th!), but we didn’t want to say anything, as to not loose momentum! In total more than 12,000 people were tested in just under a fortnight after the Operational Eagle programme started on February 5. Of those, 3,700 were carried […]

This year, my Suicide Prevention Strategy was brought back to City Council and formally adopted. I concluded this speech saying: “there is absolutely no point getting MEN to open up about their feelings if we live in a society that will refuse to listen to them or even acknowledge that they can be victims.” – […]

During Covid-19 we’ve relied on our digital devices and while the market has enabled 80% of UK adults to own smartphones, there are still those with no access online, making ‘digital inclusion’ a big topic for the future. Thankfully in Frankley we have NewStarts already leading the way here providing recycled IT equipment to those in need. […]

For years I have repeatedly called for a strategy to promote job and skills to our young and disenfranchised. In January, we finally had a productive discussion about this on committee with the Labour cabinet member saying she would look into it. While I respect that COVID-19 has played a role in delaying this, I […]
