We're lucky to have so many independent local businesses on our doorstep here in #Southend - it's important to choose local for a thriving local economy. We've mentioned just a few of them over on our Instagram.

What part can art & growing play in climate action? Whilst the scale of the ecological crisis can seem overwhelming, ‘Tip of the Iceberg’ explores how individual & collective action can have local impact to tackle environmental problems.

Sharon Byrne has been an integral part of the FPG family for the past 12 years, inspiring so many through her work, knowledge & care. We are sad to announce that Sharon is living with cancer and will now focus solely on her health and family. (1/2)

London I need your help. I left my drumsticks on the train yesterday, Victoria line, it’s in a leather stick holder which says my name on it. Please retweet, the stick holder is of sentimental value. If someone found it, I would love to get it back, @TfL

[sharon byrne @sunnysouthend3]

This looks like a great read

[gillian darley @gilliandarley]

Paperback edition with new material. Might make a nice present?

[sharon byrne @sunnysouthend3]

We need every single person on Twitter in the UK to raise their voice in anger about this Bill. It will accelerate NHS privatisation.

Privatisation. Harms. Patients 🚨
