Ridiculously early start today to get my son on the train to London for a school trip. He visited Parliament and the London Eye. And I delivered leaflets in Sherwood. Very jealous! Can't wait for Mum's taxi duties to end tonight. I have definitely earned a glass of 🍷! @prestonlibdems.bsky.social

Good news! Lancashire County Council have inspected the damaged grass verge on Greystock Avenue, and have said that they will carry out remedial works.
Evidence of your Local Lib Dem team working hard for you on county council issues.

Four blocked drains reported on Manor Avenue today. They were completely blocked with soil, so not a new problem. I got a few funny looks when taking photos though!

I got some lovely feedback today from a gentleman who was at his wit's end about dog fouling outside his home.
Apparently I have done an "excellent job as a councillor", and the Preston City Council street cleaning team have been "absolutely first class" in cleaning up the mess.
A good day!

Now my knee is getting a bit better, I am out and about spotting things that need attention in our community. Today I reported that there is lots of bird poo on the bench on Garstang Road near Parklands Drive junction. Hopefully PCC will get that cleaned up so we can use it again soon...

It's literally been a 💩 day today!
To help a frustrated Greyfriars resident, I dealt with a report of multiple dog poo bags being left outside their property at the junction of Scott's Wood and Janice Drive.

Problems with buses and the cost of school coaches has been flagged at full council as being a growing problem. Many of you have shared the problems you have faced with late, missing buses and some that just drive straight past you. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

I have received two complaints today about bags of rubbish that have been dumped in the watercourse at Levensgarth Park, Fulwood. I have reported this to the Environment Agency and to Preston City Council. Hopefully it will be shifted before the next storm comes in. @prestonlibdems.bsky.social

It's been a very wet night in Lancashire with 65 flood warnings still in place. Although river levels are now dropping, it is advisable to avoid walking near rivers, and not to drive through flood water. Please not that just 30cm of water can float your car.

A planning application has been submitted to change the former newsagents on Broadway to a pizza takeaway. The proposed opening times are 16:30 to 22:30. Please view and comment using the planning portal. I can't see anything about signage in the application.

Team Greyfriars were out and about today delivering letters/leaflets. I have also been following up on casework sent to us via the community surveys. There has been a marked increase in dog fouling, particularly on Longfield today. To report yourself use www.preston.gov.uk/article/7666... .

That's the last of my Greyfriars community surveys out now. It's always nice when you knock on a door and they say "Hello Fiona!" before you even introduce yourself. No casework today - it's my neighbourhood so regularly checked! And now for a nice relaxing evening 🍷 @prestonlibdems.bsky.social

I am relieved that the Assisted Dying bill has passed the first reading. I believe we should be afforded a choice on how we die, rightly with a lot of safeguards in place. Having the ability to die with dignity is an important milestone in our civilised society.

I have been off all social media and podcasts since the Trump win as I just couldn't face listening to any of the commentary. Now back and amazed by how many new followers I have on here. Thank you! Now very much back in action delivering surveys and doing casework for my community. #prestonlibdems

Notification postcard received from National Highways regarding ash dieback work on the M55 junction 1 overnight on 4-5 November and 11-12 November. I will be asking them what their plans are for replacement planting.

You know that a Greyfriars action day is going to go well when the first door opens and says "Hello Fiona"! I arranged a red lidded recycling bin repair for that lady, followed by a lot of good quality conversations on the doorstep. Mainly highways issues.
Please return the surveys we left with you.
