It was lovely to join the Stockport Muslim Foundation 🕌 for their Eid meal party tonight at the Dandelion Community in Wythenshawe.
Thanks for your warm welcome and delicious food.
Great to meet up with so many different Wythenshawe community groups & @Jacksonsrow colleagues.
Great to see this well-behaved dog on my @MCRMetrolink tram home, this is long overdue #dogsontrams

In extraordinary times, poets articulate what many of us struggle to say. @IMcMillan has written a sonnet for Gorlovka, Barnsley's twin town in Ukraine.

Exciting site visit today up on Castlefield Viaduct, where, this June, a 12 month pilot will open this space for the public as a high level urban park. So pleased to be a part of this exciting project with @OurCastlefield , the @nationaltrust @CityofTreesMcr and others
