I just attended the inaugural weekly market on the Italian Gardens, now on every Wednesday. It seemed to be pretty well attended with a good mix of stalls. Definitely worth a visit.

Today is #WorldBookDay. Enjoying reading is at an all-time low, as only around 35% of children say they enjoy reading.

I think getting lost in a book is wonderful and fulfilling, and i would encourage anyone to find the type of book they love and discover the joy it entails.

Quite so, those frozen assets are sitting there doing nothing. They should be used to support Ukraine.

Dydd Gwyl Dewi hapus.

Честита Баба Марта.

Is spring here yet?

It's shocking to witness such bullying today. America is becoming an embarrassment. But they aren't just cutting themselves off from the rest of the world - what they are doing is seriously dangerous for everyone.

It is expected that on 17th January, the part of Walliscote Road between Clifton Road and Clevedon Road will be closed to traffic between 9.30am and 3.30pm to enable works to the trees.

Changes to the recycling and waste collection over the Christmas period. For those whose bin day is Wednesday, Thursday or Friday, it'll be two days later next week and one day later the week after.

Do you need to get to Worle this week? Why not get the bus there for free? Until 7th December, Weston's number 6 bus service is offering free journeys between Weston Interchange and Worle High Street and Worle Interchange with no tickets required. Hop on and off as much as you like.

On white ribbon day today, I'm wearing the white ribbon, because I support White Ribbon UK and I stand against violence to women and girls.

We are not a free society, if half of us do not feel safe to live their lives without fear of violence.

#ItStartsWithMen

Due to expected bad weather, there's a change to the town's Christmas lights switch-on tomorrow. The ceremony and celebration will now be inside the Winter Gardens from 4.45pm with a live stream of the tree and lights in the Italian Gardens. Don't forget that the town bus services are free all day.

Most people will not notice the 'safety improvements' to the roundabout by Tesco, although the government spent around £22,000 on lines and signs. It would have been more useful to install a proper pedestrian crossing across the main road to help some pedestrians access the railway station.

Labour promised before the election to address the lack of NHS dentists, but it seems all forgotten now they're in power. In Weston, nor in the South-West region, we've still no chance of registering with one. At least LibDem MPs are still fighting in Westminster.

"We are going to fight for our rural communities. We're gonna fight for farmers, we're gonna fight to stop this family farm tax.

"I have just one ask of you. I want you to continue to do what you are the best in the world at doing: producing high quality food for our country."
