Excellent visit to Peterborough Asda today with @andrewpakes.bsky.social, hearing from some fabulous apprentices, and talking about the ways in which the store seeks to support our community.
Especially good to be reminded that apprenticeships are for all, not just career starters.

A pleasure to meet George on Friday, at the ground-breaking on our new @camcitco.bsky.social development at Fanshawe Road. George started with Hill as an apprentice and is now site manager. It was a great run up to #NationalApprenticeshipWeek to hear about the start an apprenticeship gave him.

I’m a proud Labour and Cooperative councillor, so it was excellent to see the number of @coopparty.party.coop councillors and MPs at the @lgalabour.bsky.social conference, and to be able to give our support to Labour’s plans for community energy.

An absolutely fantastic weekend at @lgalabour.bsky.social conference. Really good to catch up with wonderful local gvt colleagues and to hear from our front bench team. Especially good to talk to Angela Rayner about the opportunities greater devolution brings.

At today’s Cambs and Peterborough Combined Authority board, we voted by a clear majority to recommend bus franchising to @mayordrnik.bsky.social. We now await the Mayor’s decision.
Our residents, businesses, schools, and colleges want better buses. Franchising helps us achieve that. A historic day.

In Peterborough this morning, talking potholes with @andrewpakes.bsky.social. The Tories blamed local authorities but starved them of funds. The Labour Government has given Cambridgeshire and Peterborough an extra £10 million to fix potholes, which will help start putting things right.

All 5 Coleridge Labour councillors, both City and County, out and about this morning, despite the cold.
We knock on doors year round, not just at election time. It’s about picking up issues that need resolving for our residents and taking action.

When local residents told us that having no bus meant dangerous walks along the A1, we acted. In the summer, Mayor Nik and I were able to travel with the campaigners on one of the first buses on the new CPCA-funded route from Peterborough to Stamford.

Day 14 of my #adventcalendar, and I’m with Mayor Dr Nik and Al Kingsley, chair of the Business Board, for the opening of Chatteris Museum, which the CPCA helped to fund.
The opening was such a fun day, made even better by having visited the site when it was being fitted out.

Day 11 of my #AdventCalendar. The huge privilege of attending the University Centre Peterborough graduation ceremony in September. So many successes to celebrate, and so moving to see the students cheered by staff and the local community as they processed to the cathedral.
