Happy Father’s Day to all celebrating today!

For some of us it is a moment to remember. I like this photo for the early evidence of a shared sweet tooth, and for the also shared habit of wearing our watches on the inside of our wrists, which stems from Dad’s time as an RAF officer

😡 Cheshire East is facing bankruptcy, making staff redundant, and failing to deliver basic services. It needs accountability and grip.

Meanwhile, they can’t even work out who signed a letter, despite having spent months trying to figure it out. This is completely ridiculous.

Working in business you learn to make a decision, take accountability for it, and see it through. You have to get stuff done. That’s how I will approach the role of Mayor. Let’s get stuff done.

The investigation into who signed an official letter in the name of Cheshire East’s leader and deputy which appeared to support the Adlington new…

For the last two days we’ve been at The Royal Cheshire Show

I want Cheshire & Warrington to thrive. That can’t happen unless farming and rural communities thrive. As Mayor I will do all I can to make that happen.

Thanks to everyone who talked with us, and thanks to Esther McVey Aphra Brandreth and Robbie Moore MP for their support.

Great to catch up with Robbie Moore MP at The Royal Cheshire Show yesterday.

Both nationally and locally we are championing our amazing farmers and rural communities. I want to see Cheshire and Warrington thriving. For that to be true our farming and rural communities need to be able to thrive. That’ll be a key mission as Mayor

What a load of nonsense.

Warrington is home to Gullivers World, Walton Hall and Gardens and even laser quest at Warrington Quasar to name just a few. That’s in addition to enjoying great sport at Warrington Wolves and Warriors.

Our area has so many fantastic places to visit and things to do. Thriving communities need great days out, culture, and sport. As Mayor I will champion our great attractions and visitor economy that supports tens of thousands of jobs.

Warrington has been ranked among England’s least family-friendly areas in a study of child-focused attractions
