Hmmm... what's going on around ?

For a third time the mayor of Tees Valley has been caught (this time via leak to FT) transferring public property to the development corporation he chairs without any scrutiny of the transfer lists or agreements.

Hello loves, latest My Love Letter Time Machine podcast episode out now. CW - Victorian alcohol abuse. Janie’s delight at at the family seaside day out is tempered by Emma’s increasingly unkind behaviour. This week Janie takes us to Cleepthorpes, then as now, probably the nearest bit of sandcastle sand to Sheffield. Absolutely love putting this episode together. Link: mylovelettertimemachine.buzzsp (you should prob unfollow me if you don't want me bleating on about the pod).
