Year 5 have had a visit from local councillor Sarah Cockburn-Price telling them about how her career changed multiple times as โdoors shut in her faceโ & she chanced new opportunities before starting up local community group โColne Youth Action Group.โ

Many thanks to @PendleBC officers who invited me to scrutinise the woodland fringing the former ELE site at Cottontree.
There was concern about trees being coppiced along the public footpath. None of the trees was on PBC land. I was reassured that the trees would regenerate. ๐ณ

If our country took a fancy to, say Virginia, would President Trump simply gift it to the UK to prevent us bombing New York? Is that is what he is saying? Canโt he see it makes no sense? Where would it end?

I love my animals. I adore snow and real winter.
I am less keen on both when their frozen poo is welded to the ground and, as I chip at it to get it up, it repeatedly flies up and hits me in the face. ๐ฆ๐

Members of @LidgetandBeyond pitched up this morning to plant 2,000 spring bulbs: snowdrops, muscari, snakeshead fritillaries, crocii and narcissi. The team laboured for a scant hour across the area. Many thanks to the workers and @PendleBC who supported this project.๐ท๐ท๐ท

Loving the Chains nโ HiVis look that was being rocked by Trawden Parish Council Chairman & Parish Clerk, Adele Waddington, at tonightโs Trawden Light Switch on! The occasion was great fun.
Kudos to all the volunteer parish councillors who worked to make this a memorable evening.

This is so true about Nelson Town Hallโs Wilson Room. It is almost as if it was designed to crush the spirit. ๐

What an incredibly dispiriting room to make any decisions in, let alone ones about the built environment. Everything about it - carpet, furniture, lighting, layout - screams a philistine lack of concern with what things look like.

My colleague, @knitboy, & I ventured into the Lionsโ Den (otherwise known as The Exec) @PendleBC to speak for the retention of Trafalgar House. The LibDems fought for total demolition, but the Indies held sway, so the front portion will be retained and the rest sadly, flattened.

A Climate FRESK was hosted by The Muni for all Cllrs & Pendleโs business reps. The session was hosted by @InSitu_1 & the main takeaway was how interconnected even seemingly unrelated processes are & how the negative impacts are accelerating as a direct result of human activities.

The wonderful duo from Pick Up For Pendle, Peter & Andrea, are Treasure Our Town stalwarts. Sadly, tonight, @ColneTown Councilโs Clerk & Media Officer and me were just a little lonely. But then I met Jake, Thomas, Poppy and Summer and they were eager to help! ๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป

What a beautiful day for That 70s Festival organised by @Colne_BID and @visitcolne! Another bustling market by @_independentst. ๐๐ป
Great music and a great vibe in town with a nostalgic exhibition at the Library.

So far, 326 people have signed my petition to try and stop Pendle Borough Council tearing down the historic Trafalgar House in Nelson and replacing it with a car park. Please sign it and share it!

Todayโs @ColneTown Treasure Our Town was โGib Hillโ, but we never made it, why? Well, there were just 3 of us, but there was rubbish. Lots of it. We just did a short footpath that runs between the railway & the schools. Next session: 2nd Oct 5.30pm, North Valley Community Centre
