The Conservative Party have received £820,000 from Russian donors since Theresa May became Prime Minister. Have a think about that the next time you see them call Jeremy Corbyn a Communist traitor. #Marr

A new car park will be there @Bigscout hopefully in conjunction with the proposed new cinema and restaurants: all just waiting for the go-ahead. Still waiting for finances for cinema to be finally agreed. https://t.co/CK5W3otZGH

[Tony Whitfield @Bigscout]

@pcc_leader I believe the market car park is to be demolished, is there a new car park planned?

[Preston City Council @prestoncouncil]

Thank you to @_CONLON_ and @FWPGroup for sponsoring last night's Mayoral Reception at @prestonmarkets and to our wonderful traders for all of their hard work & support. We think it was a great success!

[Peter Rankin @expcc_leader]

I was in hospital all last week and a little ill. Not possible to be anywhere near the @prestoncouncil offices. https://t.co/bTygfTqulw

[Peter Rankin @expcc_leader]

Many thanks @Bigscout. The best of good luck for your treatment and its success. https://t.co/BW6DqNbKeO

[Tony Whitfield @Bigscout]

@pcc_leader I too have gone through cancer treatment and do hope your treatment will be successful too

Tonight we hosted a visit by @IHBCtweet to @prestonmarkets A classic example of a heritage structure being brought back to life and impacting on the surrounding area. Strategic investment by our client @prestoncouncil
@JB_FWP spoke to the visitors about the design concept/result

[Peter Rankin @expcc_leader]

I was fully aware of that but your email was dated and sent yesterday. Designed to confuse? I know others were confused. No apology? https://t.co/iGH9rEi89h

[Preston Market Thermometer @PR1Thermometer]

@pcc_leader Thanks for your contribution. This was last week when the temperature didn't rise above zero ALL DAY.

[Peter Rankin @expcc_leader]

Preston City Council needs some....... https://t.co/OrsisUBqTv

Some others don't read their tweets properly....... https://t.co/hT8KjKUGsu

[Peter Rankin @expcc_leader]

No I'm a real amateur at Twitter especially when I've got glioblastoma and sleeping a lot. Never used to tweet when busy at work. https://t.co/xgxOgtWNxj

[Fishergate Bollard @FishergateBllrd]

When the leader of the council doesn't quite understand Twitter 🤣🤣🤣
@PR1Thermometer @pcc_leader

[Peter Rankin @expcc_leader]

No - I'm at home after being let out off hospital again but still very ill. Leaving Council in May. https://t.co/bTygfTqulw

[Peter Rankin @expcc_leader]

@Lostock_Henge @Prestonphonebox @Swingbridge2 Very pleased for you. You haven't had cancer with associated illnesses? I'm afraid I do.

[Peter Rankin @expcc_leader]

That previous comment was unfair as it said "today". Your valuable tweets will lose validity if you don't make it clear what day you're talking about. https://t.co/iGH9rEi89h

[Preston Market Thermometer @PR1Thermometer]

@pcc_leader Thanks for your contribution. This was last week when the temperature didn't rise above zero ALL DAY.

[Peter Rankin @expcc_leader]

Must have been v early-what a miserable shame. It was 9 degrees in the garden in Ashton this pm, admittedly going down to 8 by 5pm. No minus temps. Why don't you Tweet the latest temps in the Market Hall? Forecast is 4 degs at 8 to 7 by 5pm. https://t.co/evewe7Guy7

[Preston Market Thermometer @PR1Thermometer]

HOT off the press today from Preston market hall, a snug & cozy minus 2. Look at this flash digital fella, he speaks the truth. @pcc_leader @nwpicdesk @blogpreston @H_S_E @RIBANorthWest @FWPGroup #heatprestonmarket

[Peter Rankin @expcc_leader]

This man Nigel Evans MP voted for LCC (incl Highways) to have its budget cut year after year by government. Hypocrite and worse. #potholes https://t.co/rjc3lSbnwe

[Lancashire Post @leponline]

What are potholes like in your area? https://t.co/CkABmQ1Zst

[One Voice Community Choir @OneVoiceCC]

Heading to @prestonmarkets this morning? We’ll see you there! We’re singing from 11am! #OhHappyDay #WrapUpWarm 🎶👏🎶👏🎶👏

[Peter Rankin @expcc_leader]

@PR1Thermometer @FWPGroup @nwpicdesk @blogpreston @H_S_E I understand the traders' misery especially after we spent £5m on the fantastic building. Officers know they must do all they can to alleviate the cold. But it's excessively unusual to get cold as bad as it is. Remember last winter? I don't recall cold as bad as this.

[Peter Rankin @expcc_leader]

I believe that 20 homeless were accommodated at Foxton last night. We ensure that every Homeless person is offered shelter. The 8 you spoke to must have refused. But hats and coats are better than dying of cold. Well done! https://t.co/ChHCicCvOH

[Pohteetoe @mave9nwit]

@pcc_leader @prestoncouncil @BIDPreston I’ve just been out giving coats and hats to homeless people in the city centre. We found 8 people in 10 mins who didn’t have shelter for the night.

[Peter Rankin @expcc_leader]

Scarf, hat and gloves hardly enough when it's -4 and -6 in Preston streets. I'm in hospital with 4 blankets and a warm dressing gown and still cold. The homeless on Preston streets have all been offered bed and food at Foxton. https://t.co/FdhouoJp7X

[Russell Hogarth @RussHogarth]

Fabulous initiative and one we should look at adopting here in the #NorthWest ~Russ #Homelessness @natalieben @julie4nw @OxfamPreston @BIDPreston @pcc_leader @MatthewBrownLab @jeremycorbyn @naomitimperley @VernonLinda @SLoganADR @blogpreston @Ben_Ahern https://t.co/bwbmwgAET7

[Peter Rankin @expcc_leader]

I hope you told them about Foxton. Some not going because they don't like the other guys already there. https://t.co/ChHCicCvOH
