Thank you to everyone who attended the Eye Great British Spring Clean litter pick this morning.

It was a great pleasure to put forward a motion asking Peterborough City Council to support the Flag of the Fens and its journey to official recognition from the Flag Institute.

Thank you to all Councillors for their support and warmth for the motion and the flag on the night.

International Women's Day

I took a few pictures of my favourite pieces from the Highlight Her exhibition by Kings Cross earlier this week.

I am truly fortunate to be surrounded by so many inspiring, loving, driven and wonderful women 💜

It was a very special Good Neighbours Friendship Tea in Newborough this week. A 100th birthday party for the wonderful Miriam.

Pictures don’t do her sharp and mischievous nature nor her beauty justice. She is truly a bright and warming light in any room.

A privilege to attend the Holocaust Memorial Day Commemoration.

I felt the service struck a wonderful balance. We looked back to remember the past and the many performances and readings from talented young people showed the amount of light we have coming in the future.

Thank you to Thorney Beavers for inviting me for UK Parliament Week #UKPW

Children created rosettes & messages such as ‘save the environment’, ‘save tractors’ & ‘eat snacks’. They voted for their favourite sweet (Maoam).

Thanks to Dennis Jones as Council Leafer for taking time out to join in!

Enjoyed my first LGA conference over the weekend

Thought-provoking & fun (the giggles were a very real thing, mixed in with complex topics & discussions).

Very interesting to hear experiences from other Councillors and Councils across the country

Thank you to everyone who donated to my Dare to Decend challenge. I completed my first ever abseil, 150ft down the Hospital & I thoroughly enjoyed being Spiderman 🕷️

I'm very grateful to have my total sitting at an amazing £2,000 for the Cancer Wellbeing Service. Thank you 🙏
