Eid Mubarak!

Great to be back @WHMparkrun today after illness and injury. Thanks to all the volunteers for managing the big crowd. Stop for coffee and email catch up @HPBCLeeds and visit @HeadingleyHEART - amazing activities there today, then on to my councillor surgery at Headingley Library.

Litter pick earlier this week on Queen’s Road in Hyde Park, Leeds. Thanks to all the @LeedsGreenParty helpers plus friends and families. At least 14 bags of rubbish collected in just over an hour.

Thanks to the wonderful residents around Hyde Park corner who arranged a clear up where the billboards used to be. It was great to join you. Thanks, too, to @HPBCLeeds for helping and providing hot drinks.

I attended the Leeds Trans Day of Remembrance Service today, on behalf of @LeedsGreenParty to remember the 350 lives lost across the world this year in acts of anti-transgender violence. Thanks for the moving and defiant speeches and beautiful, creative poems. #TDoR2024

And here’s us three green councillors the morning after the big Sleepout. We managed to get some sleep and help raise lots of money for Simon on the Streets.

Just getting ready for the night ahead

Having been on the @galba_action committee for many years, it was great to join them today. Say no to night flights! More info here: galba.uk/cheap-flights-every… Photo credit to the excellent Neil Terry.

Great to visit All Hallows Church today and have a good chat with Rev Heston Groenewald and to meet Annmarie and Nic from the Rainbow Junktion team. Also wonderful to be there to see the Little Free Library open outside. The whole thing is such a great asset to the community.

…encourage people to reduce their consumption, reuse items and find better ways to recycle. Huge thanks to Kate and the team for organising the salvage and to Jed for coordinating so many volunteers.

A group of us from Leeds Green Party helped to salvage at the end of Leeds Festival yesterday, collecting tents, airbeds and other items in perfect condition to go to various community organisations. The rubbish left was horrific - it feels like we need to do much more to…

I’ve reported this tree across North Grange Road in Headingley. If there are any more down across public roads and footpaths, please follow the advice in this link: leeds.gov.uk/parks-and-count… #Leeds #Headingley

This evening….

I was honoured to join @LordMayorLeeds for the opening of the @SRWheatfields summer garden and memory tree in Headingley today. It was an emotional event for those who have had family and friends at Wheatfields. It was good to meet some of the national and local Sue Ryder team.

I gave my maiden speech as a @LeedsGreenParty councillor today. Urging transport and housing planners to work more closely together. There are too many urban sprawl, car dependent developments in Leeds with few or no facilities for residents, adding yet more traffic to our roads.

Another busy day - started with balsam bashing at Woodhouse Ridge Action Group then I was out monitoring changeover day then election chat with @natalieben this evening. Huge thanks to Natalie for coming to visit us. Huge excitement about the election - vote Green!
