So the signs have been taken down for the Balfour School Street and the scheme is being abandoned, but without residents or even the school having been notified. Just extraordinary. How is this possible? @TrevMu10 @WithdeanGreens @BHDemocracyNews
Children in daily danger because the Balfour school street scheme has sadly failed (required volunteers to enforce it) and has done. Appreciate the failure should help the council get enforcement powers, but hoping to see wardens or even police while we wait please @TrevMu10
Cars three abreast at the school crossing is typical, unfortunately: here's a resident parked by the kerb unable to go work, as one parent blocks them in to drop off and another drops his child in the middle of the crossing itself. @LizBHPlanning @theresfowler @KerryPickettBH

Blew a tyre on a pothole out at Waterhall on a road that is the responsibility of @BrightonHoveCC. Keep an eye out now that it's getting dark and rainy. Can you please point me to the compensation process @TrevMu10 ?

Quelle honneur to be on the Champs Élysées for the Parade of Champions, marking the last bravo of Paris 2024. It’s been quite the summer. Innovative, engaging and showing off this extraordinary city to the last. Allez les Bleus et vive la France !

In having a dedicated focus on sustainability, the BBC is making its sports coverage resonate more widely and also helping improve conditions for sport. Am a big fan:

The respect for referees in rugby is a big draw for parents. Whether documentary coverage of the referees or protecting them from abuse, @WorldRugby clearly a leader.
This is a breakthrough case for rugby union & should act as a deterrent as even those who hide behind an alias can be unmasked, reported and prosecuted. Great partnership with @signifygroup & our match officials.

Not just an issue for swimmers…
Great story by @seaningle and great campaigning by @RiverActionUK. Now likely to be referenced in race commentary heard by millions. And they’re planning even more discharges at Teddington @SimonDGriffiths! @Feargal_Sharkey theguardian.com/sport/2024/m…
In 2022, Southern Water discharged sewage into Brighton & Hove bathing water 100s of times. Hours after one such discharge in 2022, the Environment Agency found 3x the safe limit of e.coli at Brighton Central. So we lost Blue Flag status. Time for change. Time for @TG4Pavilion
Tomorrow morning at 9:30am @EnvAgency will announce that in 2023 water companies spent 4,014,964 hours on 477,927 occasions dumping sewage into England’s rivers, an all time record.
And govt does what exactly?
Attempts to emulate Marcus Smith’s running were not successful at the Hove U9-U11 festival his morning. By the end, the kids were sliding down the hill, using tackle pads as sleds in the mud. Across Sussex, there are now hundreds of bathtubs full of kit “getting the worst off”.

600 young rugby players from Sussex U10 and U11 teams @BrightonBlues this morning. The sun is out, cakes are being unpacked, the BBQ is fired up and player welfare is on the programme. If in doubt, sit them out. @peterrobinson86 @ProgressiveRug
Great engagement activation from the @RFU England rugby team today: open training at Twickenham. £1 per person, timed for half term. Chance for players to build their brands and the team’s by making an effort to connect with young fans.

Everyone's mum deserves to be properly looked after. The only vote at the coming election that will improve the NHS here in Brighton is one for @TG4Pavilion
I see you @LA28 community manager. Way to raise the engagement bar.

France don’t win as many Olympic medals as the UK because they fully fund team as well as individual sports. But France’s pride in its handball teams demonstrates it’s an investment worth making.
Beyond lower health outcomes and fewer wellbeing opportunities, children from significantly deprived areas (East Brighton) are more than 2x as likely to drown as their peers from wealthy areas (Withdean). Well done @bhlabour for amending plans to address inequality. @DivideClass
At our first Strategy Committee of the year, @bhlabour:
💷 Protected our Council Tax Reduction Scheme, benefitting 19,200 residents of #Brighton & #Hove to the value of over £18 million
🏊♂️ Approved plans to explore 2 new swimming pools at Withdean & East Brighton. 1/2

So much yes to the free fares. I know one child with separated parents: since starting secondary, the child rarely stays with the parent who lives further away from school on weekdays. Not enough money for the bus. @GoldsmithCN @DivideClass

Rest in Peace, Mo Mowlam.
There were no security-related deaths in Northern Ireland in a calendar year for the first time since police records began in 1969, the Police Service of Northern Ireland has said
