Have you had missed bin collections recently? Some streets haven't had their bins collected for three weeks! This is a clear failure of a basic public service. Residents deserve a dependable, functioning waste service. We are calling for urgent action and an immediate, city-wide recovery plan.

Every single household in Britain should be able to afford their basic everyday energy needs. Our Essential Energy Guarantee would use the huge windfall profits of the big energy network operators to cut your bills. @libdemdaisy.bsky.social has the details. ⬇️

♻️ Waste Watchers ♻️ Let’s create cleaner, safer neighbourhoods by bringing together residents and partners to take practical action, while encouraging communities to become more proactive and informed around waste management. Details: 🗺️ Lynwood Park, Brislington 📅 9 June 🕰️ 2 - 5pm

💩 Great to join fellow councillors and Friends of Brislington Brook to find out about the issue of untreated sewage polluting our local river on a regular basis. Look out for their petition launching soon. As local councillors, we fully support efforts to force Wessex Water to clean up its act.

Welcome!

Historic event for Bristol and a lovely moment for all his colleagues as cllr Yassin Mohamud is sworn in as Lord Mayor of the city of Bristol and the first person of Somali origin to hold the post.

From Trump to Musk, Cameos to the Kremlin, Nigel Farage has always been for sale. In a Press Conference at 2pm today, @eddavey.libdems.org.uk will expose the threat of foreign interference in our democracy.

🏡 New housing on the former John Peer factory site opposite Arnos Court Park in Brislington West. All homes will be delivered as affordable housing, with homes available for people on Bristol City Council’s housing register. Read more here: www.sng.org.uk/press-releas...

Trumpflation is ballooning the cost of living. All cheered on by Nigel Farage and Kemi Badenoch.

Great to see the new ramp finally being installed. A key part of South Bristol’s active travel Infrastructure will soon reopen. 👏

It is absolutely heartbreaking that Bristol Blue Glass is having to shut its doors due to being priced out of trading. How many more small businesses have to close for this Labour Government to recognise its failures and step in?

Liberal Democrats are clear: new housing must go hand in hand with new GPs. We will ensure that no community is left overwhelmed.

Well done Team GB on the silver medal in curling. Interesting to see that the IOC member presenting the medals was Hugh Robertson, who when he was a DCMS minister I worked with closely for the Liberal Democrat side of the Coalition on the Same Sex Marriage legislation.

Spending time with Bristol’s Ukrainian refugee community, at an event marking the 4th anniversary of the Russian invasion. Over a thousand refugees have been housed by Bristolians. Many Ukrainian children have now been born here. Slava Ukraini!

Openreach (part of the BT Group) is responsible for removing graffiti from their green street cabinets. There are several cabinets on King’s Road in Brislington West that are looking very grotty so I’ve been in touch with the utility company and asked them to give them a lick of paint!

Great to spend some time this morning in our beautiful local park, planting a new perimeter hedge. It even stayed dry!

Hundreds of thousands of patients are waiting agonisingly long hours in A&E for the care they need. It’s completely disgraceful, and this Government should hang their heads in shame.
