Excellent work. Well done 👏👏👏
The number of antisocial behaviour reports in #TunbridgeWells town centre has dropped to nearly half what it was last year. PCs Goble and Brazier tell us about #NeighbourhoodPolicing and tackling ASB as part of their beat. Further details here: kent.police.uk/news/kent/late…
Wanna know what the @UKLabour Government’s policy will be like in 6 months? Look at @LibDems policy now! Example 4746284638…. Young Europeans may be allowed to stay in UK for longer than a year thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…
Awesome fun this afternoon at the Tunbridge Wells Mela - now in its 18th Year! Music, food, dancing and bubbles (if you are my three year old daughter!) - what more do you need? My thanks to @cohesionplus for making it happen!
At last, the Government has listened to the Liberal Democrats. Since November 2022, we have been calling for Ofwat to be scrapped. If the Government do not commit to this, it would be a dereliction of their duty and a betrayal of millions of customers across the country.
EXCL: Ministers are poised to announce they will scrap Ofwat next week Two people with knowledge of the planning tell me an announcement on ditching the water regulator is being lined up for Monday (A long-awaited independent report on the state of the industry drops at 7am)
During his 4 day visit to Zambia, 🇬🇧 Trade Envoy @CalvinBailey visited Kagem Mine in Ndola, the world's largest emerald mine. A joint venture between 🇬🇧 firm Gemfields and 🇿🇲 govt, Kagem is a true example of responsible partnerships. Hear his reflections 👇.
