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.

Back to basics! @ChesterFarmNcc is a 35 hectare site, most of which is Scheduled because of its important buried #archaeology, with a complex of farm buildings, some Listed. The current project aims to make accessible its amazing #heritage. – at Irchester, England

Interesting comment by Cllr Malcolm Longley on sale of other surplus buildings: need to avoid appearance of a “fire sale” at the council. Things will only be sold for market value. – at Northampton, England

#FindsFriday This small fragment of #Roman pottery has the only example of vernacular #Latin script so far found on site. It may only be the maker noting his day’s output, but it would be nice to find out. Any ideas? #Archaeology – at Irchester, England

Replying to @JohnAndrews2 @CllrRobinBrown
Don’t know, John. But I do know that they are not the only authority with plummeting reserves who’ve had large funding cuts, council tax capping & growing elderly populations resulting in social care pressures. I would say this is as much a national problem as it is a local one.
