At full council yesterday, I was called 'far left' by the #tories who I also heard shout 'terrorists' when I was commenting on the unacceptable Palestinian death toll. Meanwhile, they said #labour were "the voice of reason". #northyorkshirecouncil

The way I see it the only people to benefit out of fracking in Burniston are the gas and oil companies' bosses and share holders. You can bet that your gas bill isn't gonna be any cheaper in Burniston as a result of these plans! #fracking #banfracking @FrackFreeScarb @FrackFreeEY

I have just found out that the Secretary of State has deemed that the Burniston fracking application DOES NOT REQUIRE AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT 🙄 #fracking #antifracking #burniston

Scarborough's newest nature reserve! At Wheatcroft Water Works (off Cornelian). Working with @YorkshireWater and the council's Parks & Gardens we are planting gorse, blackthorn and fruit trees. Nature loves a wildlife corridor! #nature @growscarborough

At full council, I'll ask, "Will the Exec member call on the government for the “proppant squeeze” loop-hole to be closed and does he recognise the term as fracking and completely at odds with the council's own climate emergency declaration?” #fracking #NorthYorkshire #burniston

There are plenty of reasons why motorcycles may park for free in council operated car parks. In fact, most carparks offer a designated bay. Ticketless parking could mean bikes are charged in North Yorks. #northyorkshirecouncil #mag #bikes #parking @MAGUKCentral

Today, two grant applications, two TV interviews, several phone calls, a raft of emails and some newsletter deliveries. Next, I'm off to the south bay beach to see if I can find some sea swimmers!!! 🌊🏊 #scarborough #northyorkshirecouncil

Olivers Mount races bring thousands of visitors to Scarborough each year with an expected boon to the local economy circa £4m. It is simply unacceptable to lose 75 years of races because of a road closure! #oliversmount #races #roadracing

It's taken a full year to get this far, but we now have the funding to deliver a feasibility study. This is way better than a consultation as the study will look to discover a location, costs and scale of the project. #safeswimming #swimming #seaswimming

Many of you may know that 2026 is a big year for Scarborough (when we celebrate the 400th anniversary of becoming the UK's first resort). Today, I met with council officers, historians, representatives from the Castle, Library, the Spa and Fair to discuss #scarborough400

Weeks ago whilst delivering newsletters at Sea View a resident pointed out that the northbound bus shelter had a white perspex panel where a see-through panel ought to be. Today, I checked out the new panel which the bus company has now fit. See it, report it, fix it!

At today's Area Committee, I asked Alison Hume MP if she condemned the erosion of #NHS services along the East Coast and if she'd pledge support for striking #Unite members. I also asked if she would call on the Trust to review their decision to close a microbiology lab.

I've been working with local residents' groups, GROW Scarborough and council officers to look at how we can get more out of our green spaces. Some wild flower beds, small orchards and such. Also, how to 'lift trees' #scarborough #communityorchard #cllrrichmaw

'The process of injecting liquid at pressure into subterranean rocks etc. so as to extract oil or gas.' The industry can try to tell us that black is white, that up is down, that fracturing rocks to extract gas isn't fracking, but we see them. #burniston #fracking #europa
