https://t.co/hZET7xbfCT "I love England and I love living here, I just wished the people putting up the flags did it with that sentiment." Some great straightforward reporting of genuine residents' view on "flagging" here in Wensum ward A pleasure to work with @ThatsTVNorfolk

This photo shows 58 cyclists and just two cars. MPs looking out of their window today will see a steady flow of people cycling, some for the first time in a while, given confidence to do so with quality infrastructure. Just over 10 years ago there wasnβt even a cycle lane here.

The Labour-run Norwich City Council have lost Β£6 million through the collapse of their poorly run housing company. Concerns about this have been ignored for years and now internal consultancy reports show that the Labour Council had no grip. Shameful. https://t.co/jOmkivH8B9

Did you know that at some point @NorwichCC just made up laws and put them on signs? Norwich Paving Act exists but it was repealled long ago and dealt with the surfacing of roads, not criminal offences. I'm sure NCC wouldn't just makes up laws to suit them any more though.

What about biggest success? Here itβs not a particularly cheery verdict from the public. Asked in their own words, nothing dominates the word cloud, followed by the NHS.

On a slightly serious note, surely Reform should be in favour of people being able to choose who they do business with? https://t.co/tN3wZtg5jC

Another very uncomfortable looking collision at the junction of Nelson St and Dereham Rd. I couldn't tell you what happened this time, but I can tell you that there are far too many collisions here.
