Taking a break from Twitter until at least August. Need to reset my relationship with all things digital to focus on what really matters. I can be reached at the usual email address for council business. See you on the other side... or maybe not, who knows?

I will always love EU

Light the lamp, not the rat!

@jenny_symmons 💯 I need this!

[Bex White @BexWhiteTH]

Publicly available data at https://t.co/IAYUBVKl55 shows that Lansbury ward is seriously affected by Covid. Cases TREBLED in a week. Data as at last Friday. Stay home as much as you can.

[Bex White @BexWhiteTH]

At a councillors' Public Health briefing on Covid-19 with colleagues from all parties across London. Please, please, stay at home as much as possible. If you were planning on meeting 1-1 outside, but are both able to cope with online, please do that instead. This is so serious.

@RantyHighwayman I had exactly the same experience here last week, in daylight. Spent several minutes afterwards trying to work out if I was in the wrong. I was ahead, compliant with all signals, yet had to brake for my life to avoid being lorried. @willnorman lights need urgent review!

[Bex White @BexWhiteTH]

@auntywheezie Oh that's hard not to see your grandbabies Lou! Thank God for Zoom, even though I hate it!

[Bex White @BexWhiteTH]

Just cancelled our Christmas bubble. Gutted not to see the kids, but there will be other Christmases. Bright side: as a Christian, it's getting easier and easier to focus on the faith aspect of Christmas when everything else is getting taken away. At least no-one can cancel that!

[Bex White @BexWhiteTH]

@timspector Can't see Tower Hamlets on here? Are there not enough app users?

[Bex White @BexWhiteTH]

Just got my first self-isolation notice. Staying at home until next Tuesday night. Amazon-free Christmas just got a bit more challenging!

"I had it in me, but I couldn't see it in me" - a powerful personal story from a resident who is flying high in her career at tonight's Overview and Scrutiny Committee on Workpath @TowerHamletsNow

[Bex White @BexWhiteTH]

Testing available for all our residents, and you don't have to have symptoms to be tested. Let's do all we can to turn the tide on rising infection rates in Tower Hamlets. I've had one at Jack Dash house and was in and out in minutes! The centre was very safe and well-run.

The statue of @MayorJohnBiggs is particularly lifelike!

Raines House is a 2021 Regional Finalist in the 2021 Civic Trust AABC Conservation Awards.

The former school building's refurbishment includes the restoration of these statues thanks to a grant from the Heritage of London Trust.

@Andrewwood17 @sulliva47027551 @FokrulHoque @KaharChowdhury @OhidAhmedTH Just to clarify, ward councillors absolutely have been engaged, both in individual developments, and also in the wider area planning. I think there is agreement all round that further development on Aberfeldy needs the Lea bridge etc

[Bex White @BexWhiteTH]

@FokrulHoque @KaharChowdhury @Andrewwood17 @OhidAhmedTH Sorry not to have responded sooner. I was on annual leave (at home!) last week and taking a Twitter break. I believe we're going to get an invite to the resident sessions. As you say, very important we hear residents' views directly.

[Bex White @BexWhiteTH]

Two years in a row 😍 Dead proud that children in Lansbury have such fantastic options for Primary School. Congratulations to the wonderful @MayflowerSch on being generally fantastic!

[Bex White @BexWhiteTH]

@Windy_London @crisis_uk @recoverypathway @luciemheath @Tell_StreetLink @SadiqKhan @jonkuhrt ‘If’ or ‘when’ the weather turns bad? The arguments for Everyone In should be stronger this time than in lockdown 1, and with leisure travel banned the bed spaces should be there! Thanks for all that LCM are doing!

[Bex White @BexWhiteTH]

I had my first in-person Covid test today at Jack Dash House. In and out in 6 minutes! Super friendly and helpful staff, and I felt very safe. Managed not to sneeze uncontrollably this time!
