"I love England and I love living here, I just wished the people putting up the flags did it with that sentiment." That's TV spoke to local residents about the arrival of national flags to Dereham Road, and those protesting their removal from a local Mosque

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 wasn’t even a cycle lane here.

Pavement parking pushes people into the road and into oncoming traffic. We were on @BBCBerkshire earlier to talk about why we're on a mission to see an end to this dangerous act. If pavement parking is a problem where you live, add it to our map! https://t.co/Ivxqb8zGr3

Is your street 'The Worst in the UK for Pavement Parking'? πŸš—πŸš— 5 years ago, the Government consulted on pavement parking in England. There are still NO plans to end this dangerous practice. Add your street to our pavement parking hotspots πŸ“ https://t.co/y9ykAD9tuz

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 it’s 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.
