As Chair of Melton Town Estate I'd like to thank our local toilet hire company and Town Estate staff for their response to such a horrible problem, making the park safe for the public.
The show goes on & we're expecting a huge crowd at the next match on Wednesday!

A reward is being offered to identify vandals who pushed over eight portable toilets used by people watching the England Euros match in a Melton park. More on this story here:

Quote of the day from the "Conservative Home" members' newsletter:
"Labour's majority is huge but fragile. Things will get worse before they can improve. Despite the scale of our defeat, we must position ourselves to win and govern in 2029. It is time for Tory Leninism."

‘Twas the night before voting, when all through the nation
People looked up the details of their polling station.
Fibs had been told by politicians desperate for votes
About taxes and housing and those on small boats
While across the UK there was much corruption chatter
With Conservative candidates keen to sidestep the matter
Knocking on doors, they found the public most vocal
They begged: “Please support us; we’re not Tories, we’re local!”
With Lib Dem Ed Davey having the time of his life
And Farage returning to cause Tory strife
They left Keir's Labour troops well placed for success
All set for five years to clean up the mess
Campaigning all done, the teams gave a whistle,
Raced back to London at the speed of a missile
But I heard them exclaim, as they got on their bus
“HAPPY ELECTIONS TO ALL, AND PLEASE VOTE FOR US!”
Jenny at Pepper’s in Melton invited me to join their craft session and talk about Labour’s plans for mental health support services.
From my perspective, I was better at policy than card making but pleased to talk about our plan for 8500 more mental health staff in our NHS.💙
The bets placed on the July election haven’t just battered the reputation of the Tory party during the campaign. They also delivered a significant logistical advantage to Labour. I mentioned before that Labour’s campaign leaders saw the odds move on 21 May, and this put them on red alert. So the following day, a few hours before Sunak announced the election in that deluge, they took a lot of important decisions and actions, including what to spend in important target seats, printing pamphlets and so on with a new logo and making massive purchases of advertising space for the final day and most of the final week across multiple platforms. As others have pointed out, Labour’s adverts are everywhere on news sites, inter alia. “Because of the betting we were much more ready and we were in a position to buy the prime real estate that we assumed the Tories would have” says a member of Starmer’s team. “The betting gave us an unexpected opportunity”. In a way it is perhaps surprising that Sunak hasn’t been even more furious with the candidates and officials who placed election-date bets
