Sunday canvassing in Stoke ward with @briarsdelve, Sally and Tom’s daughter (hence the crouching!)

Six teams of volunteers out knocking doors in Stoke Ward this morning supporting Labour’s Tom Briars-Delve who is standing for re-election.
Lots of Labour delivery in Stoke. Don’t risk the progress we are making. Vote Labour on 7 May.

Weekly food waste collections will begin for many areas of Plymouth from next week.
Cllr @BriarsDelve said: "It's really exciting... the collections will bring big benefits and we know many people are already filling their caddies."

Look who came knocking on doors with us in Stoke this evening! Nice to have Seb join us to talk to people about parking issues in Wellington and Waterloo Streets ahead of a meeting with City College. Lots of positive conversations and new @PlymouthLabour support

Just spent an inspiring couple of hours in clarion's Barne Barton regeneration scheme, new warm homes which local people are already enthusiastically enjoying. With solar and heat pumps halving energy bills too!

Please do take part in Plymouth City Council's survey to shape their plan to improve access to nature in our city.
After the damage done by the last council, I'm glad the Labour council is taking nature seriously and improving engagement with residents.

Loving the photos of the Rolls Royce submerged in Tinside!
The recreation was organised to mark 100 years of the Phantom and Keith Moon’s birthday.
Huge coverage in Rolling Stone magazine, showcasing Plymouth and our iconic lido to the world.

Between cabinet meetings I popped back to Stoke earlier to attend the unveiling of a new blue plaque honouring Ralph Bagnold, a remarkable local whose research continues to inform NASA.
Thanks to @theboxplymouth team for organising it all. Local history matters.

The approval of Berwick Bank offshore wind farm today is a major step towards our offshore wind targets and delivering clean power by 2030.
Clean homegrown power is the route to energy security, good jobs and lower bills.
That’s what we’re delivering.
Not long ago @sallyHaydon2 and I sat down with officers to discuss decarbonisation opportunities in her portfolio.
One of those ideas has just been delivered: 5 electric chargers on the Hoe. Cheaper energy for ice cream vans and cleaner air for all of us who love the waterfront.

The Plymouth Herald has just featured @briarsdelve’s reflections on our new colourful roundabouts.
If you could pick another place for flower planting anywhere in the city, where would it be?
Plymouth: vote to retain leader and cabinet governance today!
We voted against a city DEM in 2002. Whereas Torbay, Bristol and others have u-turned after trying it out, let’s show that Plymouth still knows better.
Polling stations open from 7am to 10pm. Don’t forget photo ID.
Some numbers before Plymouth’s referendum.
Since 2000, there have been 63 refs on local authority mayors. Of those, only 22 voted yes. Of those, only 13 have kept DEMs.
Last time Plymouth was asked, no won with 42811 votes vs 29559. I hope we vote @NoCityMayor again tomorrow.

We're making it cheaper and easier to own an electric vehicle.
You can get up to £3,750 off a new EV, and we're rolling out charge points to more drivers every 30 mins.
We're backing British business and putting more money in your pocket. 🇬🇧⚡🚗

Thanks @Plymouth_Live for featuring an article on the city’s new colourful roundabouts.
We’ve been blown away by the recent feedback. Our @PlymouthLabour council is already working on more planting projects like this that benefit both nature and people.

We're Charging Ahead to drive change in Plymouth's transport network. Our new electric buses have extra wheelchair bays and modern interiors for a more comfortable journey for all.

🌹Colourful roundabouts: you said; @PlymouthLabour did 🐝
Rooted in community feedback from our Summer of Nature, I asked PCC’s Grounds team to plant pollinator-friendly flowers across Plymouth’s key junctions.
They’re now in bloom and buzzing with bees! Check out Milehouse.👇
