Just an incredible person, and I have followed her story, plus those of others with similar tragic experiences. I am thrilled and relieved that she has been successful in her efforts to change access to data and admire her courage through the pain of her journey....

I am incredibly proud to be Chair of Governors at this wonderful school, actually where I went when I was 5.............the Head Teacher and her staff are amazing and Jason is such a huge asset to the school - I was thrilled for him when I heard that the BBC were visiting to see the Winter Wonderland.......I joined the queue to enjoy it too - well done to Jason! And a big thanks to all those who have helped enhance the wonderland stock cupboard with donations we have received.
Merry Christmas to all those who work in schools, and a big shout out for the governors who are great volunteers in schools too....

Jason Smart's other projects in Dunstable include converting a bus into an outdoor classroom.

I’m delighted to see Penny Mordaunt receive an honour!

By my count 76 people were awarded an honour today. Loved being in their company.

So many people doing their duty in service of the communities and country they love. So many inspiring stories. Humbled to meet many of them today and proud to be in their number.

Farewell Caroline....
It was incredibly sad to hear the news that a friend and colleague of many years, passed away this week. I was privileged to work with Caroline Maudlin, who served Sandy at Central Bedfordshire Council as a councillor until 2023, but was involved in many passions of hers and gave so much to her role as councillor, and member of her community. She was always cheerful and uplifting and was indeed a truly lovely person. I was shocked at the news as it was only earlier this year when we were close again, as she performed as celebrant to another dear friend's funeral. She looked well as she captured the room then also. Caroline was very special, a great Chairman, colleague, community champion and friend that we will sincerely miss. Our condolences and thoughts go to those nearest and dearest to her at this saddest of times.

UPDATE ON RYECROFT, West Street - to residents in and around that area. I have been notified of the following outcome from the applicant's Appeal - I am advised letters should be going to residents who registered concerns/objections. This is the essence of the Inspector's decision. Thank you to all residents who have been in touch, I know it has caused lots of concern for many residents in roads around this site.
