Professor Stephen Hawking was a brilliant and extraordinary mind - one of the great scientists of his generation. His courage, humour and determination to get the most from life was an inspiration. His legacy will not be forgotten.

Well done @LeaderNCC for standing up for Counties AND #localgov on #r4today @BBCr4today. Shared services will not deal with the pressures facing the sector & struggling councils are not all ‘inefficient’ and poor performing.

The only person who now has all the in depth detail and knowledge of NCC is Gov Inspector. It is vital to wait for his report. Speculation by all doesnt help the situation. KPMG report is clear. Increase Council tax, cut services to reduce reliance of using property sale money teapawt.net/samrread/status/966003… – at Cranfield, England
Now @mycountycouncil warned by KPMG its budget for NEXT year may be unlawful as it may not balance. It’s already been warned about THIS financial year. Budget setting for next year due this Thursday now postponed. Extraordinary times.

There is an interesting story of what it was like living at Chester Farm during the Second World War when prisoners of war helped work on the land. Plus sighting an R101 airship.

Contract came up for renewal after freeze on spend, not essential additional spend. @nccdemocracy can check audio recording as alternative if no cost. It is important teapawt.net/BethMiller91/status/96… – at Nassington, England
This service is more important now than ever before given the nature of the debates in the weeks ahead. Seems a bit convenient that it’s been abruptly stopped when surely member of staff responsible is salaried & this has been accounted for in existing budget....
Webcasting needs to resume when finances permit. Currently it cannot be regarded as essential expenditure teapawt.net/nccdemocracy/status/96… – at Nassington, England
Due to the recent limits that have been put in place on expenditure at @mycountycouncil, we will no longer be webcasting our meetings. Thanks to everyone for watching over the last 7 years. We will still tweet update live from meetings from this account.
