Woke up with an apparent, but very short term, obsession with the levels of risk of defenestration in #Burntwood and what steps people were taking to mitigate them.

Interestingly, at #LichfieldDistrictCouncil the results mean there is no overall control, and it's yet to be seen how things will fall out from that.

Secondly, the Burntwood Town Council elections... Sharon and I again won 2 of the seats together with our Labour colleagues.
Labour keeps control of the Town Council with 16 of the 22 seats.

Hi! So the elections I was running were held on Thursday, and it's been such a hectic few days that I've not gotten around to posting the results.
Firstly, the Lichfield District Council elections... Sharon and I won 2 of the 3 seats in our ward together with our Labour colleague.

I was very glad that Darren Ennis and I could attend some of the drop-in chat with PCSOs Chelsea and Deryn at Burntwood Leisure Centre today.
It was good to see #Lichfield #Police, through their PCSOs, listening to #Burntwood and #Chasetown residents and explaining what they're doing to address local issues.

1/2 In south London, #Wandsworth Council (#WBC) - now run by Labour - is running a consultation on improving a key active travel corridor by Wands Common - #Burntwood Lane.
Consultation closes 15 Jan'23
https://haveyoursay.citizenspace.com/wandsworthecs/burntwood-22/
Two design options for new cycle tracks along the lane (1) bi-directional track, (2) two with flow tracks.
The project was started in Sept'20 by the then Conservative-led council
I was at District Council House in Lichfield tonight for my first Lichfield District Council meeting representing #Chasetown and #Burntwood.
I dug out my smartest outfit for the occasion.
#Kilt #MenInKilts
I am told that I am the first Lichfield District Councillor to swear allegiance to a king rather than a queen.

This tweet from #Lichfield and #Burntwood MP Miek Fabricant seems to me to be racist, although I'm probably not the best person to make that judgement.
It also, I'd suggest, runs the risk of being libellous unless there's evidence that Ngozi Fulani smuggled a microphone and recording device into the palace and recorded conversations there.
Matt Hancock's decision not to stand in the next GE appears to have come just days before media reports were due to say that his local party had decided he was "not fit" to be their MP.
Meanwhile.... #Lichfield and #Burntwood tories seem content the embarrassment that is Michael Fabricant.

Once again, the #Lichfield and #Burntwood MP ignores to bloody obvious to defend his precious #Brexit. If he'd spend just a fraction of his "Twitter-time" talking to local international-selling businesses instead, he'd know the vast majority of them are struggling with EU exports or have just given up.
The smell of vinegar is in the air again on Chase Road in Burntwood. I love it! It's the smell of home to me. It's quintessentially #Burntwood.
The Manor Vinegar distillery have invested heavily in processes and hardware to reduce the amount of odour is produces. So it doesn't smell as much as it used to when I was a kid in the 80s. Personally I think that's a shame but I know not everyone here agrees with me.

I'm in Lichfield, Staffordshire.
With some politics, accessibility, pandemic and nerd stuff.

I know the chances of anyone reading this being from #Chasetown, #Burntwood are effectively zero... but I'm proud of the material we've produced this month so I'm going to post it anyway.
Out this afternoon with a group of CLP members knocking on doors in #Chasetown #Burntwood asking people whether they're voting next week. Got a good 40 promises of votes for me in the #LichfieldDistrictCouncil by-election.
Afternoons like this really fire me up. It reinforces my sense that I'm doing things right, that people agree with what I represent and what I want to do.

At a meeting of #Burntwood Town Council as councillor for the Summerfield and All Saints ward.
It's our AGM with elections of new Chair and Vice Chair so everything's suitably archaic and procedural.

You don't represent your Twitter followers Mike. You are supposed to represent the residents of #Lichfield, #Burntwwod and the surrounding villages.
Please do what you were voted in to do, not what might get you Likes and RTs.
