Unused boxes in Pontefract can be removed but we do NOT want 2m high black illuminated advertising monoliths as a replacement! We are objecting to that Planning application.

Dear Ms Anderson, hereβs precisely how to fix this. Ultimately you need legislation but there are things your team & local council can do in the short term: createstreets.com/projects/bβ¦

This is what shingles looks like as it comes out and then heals. This week has been tiring, confined the barracks, pulling out of commitments. Room Service has been good though from Christine. Hopefully better soon.

Dear American friends, Europe is your closest ally, not your problem. And we have common enemies. At least thatβs how it has been in the last 80 years. We need to stick to this, this is the only reasonable strategy of our common security. Unless something has changed.

It be great if new rail stations did look like this. Civic pride, civic architecture beats today's sterile output.

Places that people like is part of their function. Ornament & detail matter
Please can we go back to building houses that look as beautiful as this.

Last Sunday, breakfast bap in John Lewis & Partners, wander thro to Leeds Corn Exchange for what? Well, coffee & cake, of course.
Art is good, but I don't agree with wood paneling artwork on the sides of wrought iron handrail to steps which hides a good match to the balustrade.

Of 34 #blueplaques in & around the Pontefract area, most are for buildings and street names, too few are to people, and only 1 is to a women, Elizabeth Moxon - that is until now!
Last week, we unveiled 3 plaques at one event, and the first to be installed is to Violet Pritchard

This my friends is a note from America to the allies Trump has taken it upon himself to dismiss, disrespect and extort.
These are the American values I know and love.
