It’s a good day for @USNBuckles and all @magorstation (past and present) - a decade plus of community action, often against the odds, has paid off in today’s spending review.

A big step forward for your ‘walkway dream’. Stalwarts political and community based - well done 🚂👏👏

It’s 1999. BSE is ravaging farming across the UK. Two farmers have a chat about starting a food festival. 25 years on, it is acknowledged as one of Europe’s greatest. So many try to copy, but you cannot clone authenticity. This is ABEGAVENNY FOOD FESTIVAL in Monmouthshire 🍱

[Paul Matthews @PaulMatthews67]

To be clear, safety must come first. I would expect that from any responsible Agency. Engaging others with capability and knowledge is always likely to lead to better implementation. National Highways have now acknowledged that and we move forward.

Very proud of @MonmouthshireCC #Housing Options Team and their Making a Difference award. Well deserved.

I find this target of 75% starting treatment within 60 days very odd. The goal for something like cancer treatment should be 100%. We all know that delay harms people.

Storm Bert is certainly laying it down across South Wales. Lots of flooding, lots of closed roads. You can help by not being reckless.A ‘road closed’ sign is not a challenge to your driving skills, it means TURN AROUND. You will put yourself in danger.

Stay away from river banks
