We've been out on Wynndale Road and Maybank this weekend chatting with residents.
The #BroadmeadRoadBridge closure has affected daily life and many feel the council has just left residents to deal with it.
A lot of interest in voting Independent and having their voices heard ✊

It's Equal Pay Day - from today until the end of the year women will effectively work for free compared to male colleagues.
Equal work should mean equal pay.
Closing the gender, disability and ethnicity pay gaps must be a priority for Government and business.

Today is Equal Pay Day, when women effectively stop being paid compared to their male colleagues.
We would require all large and medium-size companies to carry out equal pay audits and redress any inequality uncovered.
Equal pay for equal work should not be too much to ask.

With farm owners protesting today over the prospect of paying a highly discounted inheritence tax, I'm sure you've seen quotes about how they "feed the nation".
But nobody is talking about the migrant workers who actually pick the crops on horticulture farms, so here's a short thread about them.

We need a completely new approach to local government. Councils are barely staying afloat and making cuts to libraries, youth centres and all sorts of social infrastructure because they struggle to fund social care and SEND provision. Government should directly fund these things.
