I'm guessing that the answer is 'No' as I asked in a comment on his FB post and my question has been swiftly deleted, so perhaps he'll have the courtesy to answer me properly here but I shan't hold my breath waiting.

Can someone from @bcpcouncil.bsky.social or any other knowledgeable person please confirm whether filling #potholes is in the remit of a Town Council as stated by the #Bournemouth East #Labour MP @tomhayesmp.bsky.social - Thank You.

England wildlife watchdog ‘has stopped designating special sites for protection’ Exclusive: Report finds Natural England has created no new SSSIs, which protect areas from development, since 2023

A decision of absolute madness and I sincerely hope that all of the local MPs @neilduncanjordan.bsky.social, @tomhayesmp.bsky.social, @jessicatoale.bsky.social & @vikkislademp.bsky.social will be strongly opposed to it!

Tonight's entertainment at the Acorn Pub in #Creekmoor ...

The Poole Reform Deputy Chairman John Pearce is and has been for years a well known social media spreader of doom, gloom and misinformation and the groups members deem Matt Goodwin to be genuine & intelligent person which in and of itself speaks volumes for their own acumen!

What the south spotted in the RSPB's Big Garden Birdwatch 2026 The results are in for the RSPB's annual Big Garden Birdwatch.

Interesting about Blue Tits, although they are in and around #Creekmoor I've not spotted any in the gardens of the flats where I live. Having just written that I bet I see them here in the next few days & of course you never know what turns up when your back is turned!

Listening to "capital V military victory" Hegseth and J D Vance's comments on Ukraine, "What I would say to both the Russians and the Ukrainians is, we're talking about haggling at this point over a few square kilometers of territory in one direction or another," made me feel physically sick.

I thought Israel would be a big fly in the ointment (and always will be), as for Trump it's time he kept his rambling trap shut whilst negotiations are ongoing .... unfortunately that will never happen.

of course there's a huge condition that needs to be met first ....
"subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz".

Phew 😮‍💨

I hope so too, any answers from Gov't depend on responses from Trump which are always tricky to interpret, but fingers crossed that a best case scenario can be found and meaningful discussions/resolutions can be found. Although we can't rule out Israel wanting things to continue as they are.
But 🤞

Yes, assuming that it will all be over and solved with one night of extreme bombardment but I'm not so sure that will actually be the case.

Thrilled to be collaborating with Ciera Atkins to co-host @btobirds.bsky.social Youth Girls Go Birding event in Dorset, at Hengistbury Head.

Join us on the 2nd of May 10am-12:30pm for a birding walk followed by a warm (or cold!) drink at the Hiker Cafe. Can't wait!
