Cllr John Baker

Independent Ward Councillor for Aspley & Woburn, rabble rouser, Central Bedfordshire Council. No-one seems to follow me, but that's probably for the best.

@JamesCleverly They aren't campaigning against higher council tax at Central Beds Council. Instead, they turn up at council meetings demanding more spending. £3.5m in the September meeting despite CBC set to lose £24m in fairer funding.

Booked an @AvantiWestCoast ticket from Milton Keynes to Manchester this weekend. Forgot to book my bike onboard, so turned to @AvantiWestCoast twitter.

Sent a message. Got a response almost immediately. Issue resolved and bike booked in minutes.

@ElectionMapsUK Reform 3 surely, hence Reforn -2?

@elonmusk Trump is a global embarrassment.

[Cllr John Baker @JBaker_Ind]

@cllr_ryan @KevMColl Free Sunday?

[Cllr John Baker @JBaker_Ind]

@BBCNews Completely unacceptable behaviour.

Sunday run with my 12 year old son. It was only meant to be 7km...

Massively impressed with Serenity on @LNRailway's twitter team, who dealt with a customer service problem promptly that the email team failed to sort out over many exchanges/days. Thanks Serenity!

[Cllr John Baker @JBaker_Ind]

I wonder how @BimAfolami proposes @letstalkcentral fills the £39M black hole left by his Tory colleagues? They proposed planting magic beans; borrowing money to pay for day to day services.

Bim says send him a message. Maybe that message is @alistrathern? #GeneralElection2024

Alice manages to pack a massive number of pertinent facts into a feq minutes. You can watch these videos three times and still not take it all in!

[Alice Loxton @history_alice]

The surprising stories of Calton Hill in Edinburgh!

[Alice Loxton @history_alice]

So much wonderful history in @10DowningStreet!

[Cllr John Baker @JBaker_Ind]

@ravbillan Is this your patch?

My son often asks about your running streak. It is about 100 days more than his @DoodleMaths streak, and I have told him he will give up before you!

[Cllr John Baker @JBaker_Ind]

Peak District running near Peveril Castle, 5 miles.

[RutlandNed @RutlandNed]

50 years ago today, #Rutland temporarily lost its independence.

On 1 April 1974, Leicestershire County Council became responsibly for many local government services.

In 1997, @rutlandcouncil took back control.

We build bridges where others burnt them.

Checking out a crossing in Woburn Sands where MK council officers are drawing up plans for improvement.

Thanks to @JBaker_Ind for working with us on this as Central Beds is across the road. #danesboroughandwalton

[Cllr John Baker @JBaker_Ind]

@collin_ruth89 You should try an evening talking local council gossip. No bottle required. But you will need a good supply of political chips.

[Tracey Bailey 💙🌹 @DrTABailey]

The end of a coffee morning in Woburn Sands today hearing about residents issues over a cuppa & cake 🍰☕️

Rukhsana & I listened to local issues, and Emily talked about national problems. Great that @JBaker_Ind could drop in and help with cross-county concerns.

[Cllr John Baker @JBaker_Ind]

Twice visited and agree with @history_alice, well worth a visit.

[Alice Loxton @history_alice]

Middleham Castle!

22 unopened brand new TVs dumped in a cupboard for six years. Peerage, anyone?
