Love Oughtibridge and the Upper Don Valley. Organic gardener. Interested in doing things to make the place better. Can-do attitude.

Is anyone else concerned that we have numerous regional Mayors undertaking foreign trade missions? Surely we have the Foreign Office and an existing network of staffed embassies doing this already? @SouthYorksMCA

@YorkshireWater Thanks, we now have an update from Alastair Harvey (YW).

[David Chinchen 🇬🇧 @DChinchen]

@YorkshireWater David Chinchen On behalf of the Upper Don Trail Trust. Alastair Harvey is your staff dealing with this. We cannot get any update.

@YorkshireWater Tried to, but you do not recognise my postcode. Please DM and get someone to contact me.

@YorkshireWater You attended an appointment with a neighbour to read a meter in Oughtibridge today. They found a leak on the public side of my meter. I was told that I had to report this as it was not related to the original appointment. Customer service in action!

[David Chinchen 🇬🇧 @DChinchen]

@YorkshireWater I have reported online. Why am I required to report a leak discovered by your staff on scene ?

@CatharineHoey Could not agree more. This could and should be done by appointment at the station for interview. PACE requires arrests to be necessary. As concerning is a police bail condition not to use X. Such conditions must be necessary and proportionate to prevent offending, not free speech

[David Chinchen 🇬🇧 @DChinchen]

@RobertJenrick Why is it necessary to pressure our political leaders to do their job? And from a Home Secretary who seems determined to damage free speech by promoting the use of Non Crime Hate Incidents.

The BBC have clearly got a problem with democracy: 'A former Greggs worker and Miss UK finalist, Dame Andrea will now control an annual budget of £24m and hold powers over skills, transport and economic development in the region'.https://t.co/BemakEJwK2

Dear UK Government, I appreciate the local elections take place tomorrow, and you need to appear effective on flytipping.... but the power to seize and dispose of vehicles has been available in legislation for several years.

[David Chinchen 🇬🇧 @DChinchen]

Any arrests, prosecutions, or banning orders? Thought not. https://t.co/fuFWCLlQ4Y

[David Chinchen 🇬🇧 @DChinchen]

Time for officers who volunteer to carry firearms to refuse to do so and send the Home Secretary a message. If we want the police to protect us, we need to protect them. https://t.co/Upnk3fcHyf

We asked to believe that the Foreign Office had arranged and agreed this visit with the Israelis. Just a political stunt by Lammy playing to a domestic vote https://t.co/K6vx7PfZek

@10DowningStreet @NetflixUK A well-made DRAMA. not a documentary. There is no evidence that such a problem exists or that showing this in schools would make any difference if there was. Just distraction politics from Starmer as usual

[David Chinchen 🇬🇧 @DChinchen]

Do our politicians not understand that gifts in cash or kind should not be accepted in any circumstances. A necessary condition for restoring trust. They should work for us, not themselves. underhttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cg70k2l5759o

What is wrong with our justice system when it takes a lengthy and costly publicity campaign for common sense to prevail? Who decided to issue this fine? https://t.co/T22AbDE3bi

UK construction PMI falls to lowest since 2020 as house-building plummets https://t.co/xmTtUjvWG1

@SpeechUnion @spikedonline This won't end well for those who value freedom. Mass surveillance will always be exploited by governments and bad actors. Access by law enforcement should be case-based (not blanket) with appropriate oversight.
