Cycle Winchester’s Mass Ride is just over a week away on Saturday April 25th.
Plenty of time for cyclists across Colden Common and Twyford to ensure their bikes are ready to roll.
It’s perfectly safe for all the family!
Had a fantastic morning with Friends of The Itchen Navigation.
Volunteers came together to replace 40m+ of fencing, helping protect riverbanks and vital habitats for species like water voles.
Highly recommend joining a future action day, great for all ages!
Colden Common’s first Park Homes Convention was a great success with strong turnout from Avondale, Glen Park, Sunningdale & Ideal Park.
I was delighted to support this event which I hope becomes a regular fixture.

Sewage from Southern Waters continues to be a danger to the Itchen and other chalk streams
Liam has acted with others to address resident's concerns with water quality, sewage spillage and discharge in the River Itchen.

I’ve compiled a video outlining two ways sewage can end up in the River Itchen.
The first is through sewage spills, like the recent incident on Bishopstoke Lane. The second through sewage discharges, like the ongoing one from Harestock Wastewater Treatment Plant.

Our elites brought us Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and Gaza.
At what point do we ask if they are a death cult?
New column 👇

Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.
Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.
We live in Orwellian times.

4/4 If you want to understand more about the failure of water privatisation in the UK, I’d strongly recommend watching the brilliant documentary Dirty Business on Channel 4.
3/4 The UK is one of only two countries in the world to have fully privatised its water industry under Margaret Thatcher, alongside Chile under her ally General Pinochet.
The Green Party is the only party prepared to properly address this crisis by bringing water back into public ownership.
2/4 You can track sewage discharges in real time via www.sewagemap.co.uk which pulls data from Event Duration Monitoring by individual water companies.
1/4 We’re fast approaching 500 continuous hours of sewage discharge at Headbourne Worthy in Winchester by Southern Water.
Because this outfall is upstream, it flows straight into the River Itchen, impacting communities all the way through Twyford and Colden Common.
US and Israeli strikes on Iran are hugely dangerous: irresponsible, provocative and illegal. Starmer must call out these so-called ‘allies’ - who are acting as rogue states - and use all UK levers to uphold international law.
Apologies to all of Hannah's customers!

Great to have helped support the new bus user campaign group Back Our Buses as it gets off the ground.

The campaign advocates for stronger action from local authorities to restore vital bus services.
Follow them on Facebook and Instagram.
Cars are allowed to drive in chalk streams for fun? Sadly, that's.
Many joined a protest to stop this.

Last week at Full Council, I supported a motion to better protect our precious rivers and chalk streams.
While the motion did not go as far as I would have liked in adopting a full Rights of the River approach, it was a step in the right direction, and one I was pleased to support.
Help us make hope normal again.
Join the Green Party now.
This is beyond shocking - how can this be allowed to happen? Why on earth can’t they be released on bail? They have a right to a fair trial, appropriate medical treatment, & the removal of punitive Prison Service conditions. Govt’s ban on Palestine Action is simply intolerable
Great cycling promotion event in Colden Common today 🚴♀️
Lots of bikes security registered and plenty of interest in the off-road cycle routes being proposed for the area by the South Downs National Park Authority.
Denied bail for minor criminal damage (spraying paint on aircraft used in a genocide), 8 courageous prisoners are on hunger strike & close to death. Is the UK gvt willing to sacrifice Britain's reputation for liberalism to aid and abet Israel's genocide? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...
British politics is a mess. Food, energy, housing are all too expensive. Major parties are all flogging the dead horse of trickle down. So I’m joining the Green Party. Britain needs an economy that works for workers, for small businesses, and future generations. @greenparty.org.uk
