Pleased that the Executive supported additional funding for PSNI pay in the next monitoring round today. Our police officers work day and night to keep Northern Ireland’s streets safe and deserve to be treated as a priority when it comes to pay uplifts.

We are delighted, following an Alliance proposal which secured additional funding for a kerbside glass recycling scheme, that Belfast City Council is now in a position to recommend that the kerbside glass recycling is expanded across Ormiston for 26/27.

I despair the mentality of those who spread slurry on the streets of their town motivated by hate and bigotry. Disgusting in every sense of the word. Solidarity to all at Ballymena Pride. It's a frightening time but love will always triumph over hate. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍🩷🩵

Delighted this motion proposed by me and seconded by @TrBrk was unanimously passed. I hope it helps to make it easier for those who want to donate to do so. Giving blood saves lives.

Really pleased that the motion on paid time for council employees to donate blood and bone marrow, proposed by @C_Bower and seconded by me, has passed. The article also covers @CllrMichaelLong's motion on epilepsy education and training which also passed https://t.co/5AX7LqjxXc

It was good to give blood yesterday; prompted by the motion that @C_Bower and I are bringing to council in Nov but long overdue - my Dad got pints and pints of blood when he was ill so feel this is the least I can do. Click https://t.co/tQzcLqmscW for more info

Spotted this legend on the Belmont Road litter picking yesterday. It is great to see people taking pride in their community and keeping it litter free. If you can, consider thanking him by sending a donation to Marie Curie: https://t.co/YciHFK7tZ3
