He’ll not be concerned one bit about the 15.6% council tax raise and 9.5% rent increases just imposed by my local Labour-controlled council #FalkirkCouncil

Spare me 🤮

“Why is this grass sticky?” 🌱🔍
That one question led to a brilliant microscope investigation, exploring textures, patterns and tiny details we couldn’t see before.
Real curiosity, real learning.

Also fighting Aptura plans for a data centre here in Scotland. One of many that would prevent the nation reaching net zero targets as well as destroying biodiversity and creating heat islands. #larbert #falkirkcouncil

“While the project stands to raze local forests and wetlands, it may also have broader impacts across the province. The proposed data centre is a 390MW operation.”

It would generate 6.6% of the province’s emissions and could surpass 10% of New Brunswick’s energy demands.

The proposed data centre and its on-site gas plant in Lorneville, N.B., would raze wetlands and forest and be one of the province’s largest greenhouse gas emitters

It’s #EarthDay and my local council have published their ClimateView dashboard on their website which shows their pathway to net zero. They write, “We are optimistic about the future.” Well done #FalkirkCouncil !

#FalkirkCouncil likely to stop using X

.. says @scottishlabour.bsky.social Cllr #SiobhanPaterson
supported by @snp.org & @scottories.bsky.social

A councillor has urged Falkirk Council not to wait to stop using X (formerly Twitter) after hearing it is likely to do so anyway because of very low engagement compared to other platforms. Labour councillor Siobhan Paterson asked a meeting of Falkirk Council this week to support her call for a report “on the council’s current and future use of X, including safeguarding, engagement, and alternative platforms”. While that report is being prepared, however, she also proposed that corporate use of X be limited to essential communications only due to serious concerns about the social media site. Councillor Paterson said: “We all know that once upon a time Twitter was a useful space for updates with our residents – however, we are all too aware that in recent years the culture of the platform has changed significantly. “With the spread of misinformation and the rise in hostility, the platform is less constructive and less aligned with the standards that we should uphold as a council.” After hearing from council officers that the council will probably shift away from the platform anyway due to a lack of engagement, she asked: “Why wait?” Ms Paterson said: “Last year the billionaire owner of the platform stood with extremists with the aim of disrupting our democracy and encouraging violence on our streets. “Add to that, Twitter’s AI was used to create non-consensual images of women and children.” Twitter was previously widely used by Falkirk Council and all of the area’s schools previously used it to communicate with parents. The councillor said she had campaigned for this to end since being elected and she was delighted that schools no longer use it. She said: “This is not a forum that we want to encourage our children onto. “As a council, we can choose not to participate in a system that promotes harmful content. “We do not rely on Twitter and to continue to communicate with our residents, we can do that on alternative channels that better reflect our values.”… Twitter was previously widely used by Falkirk Council and all of the area’s schools previously used it to communicate with parents.

The SNP leader of the council, Councillor Cecil Meiklejohn, added her support saying: “I don’t feel its a constructive platform for anyone to engage on and have on many occasion been the subject of abuse. “It’s not somewhere we should really be holding debate, so I’m more than happy that we look to move on from that and find for a more conducive method of communicating for our constituents and indeed our communities.”
