There has been a lot of comment about the Commission’s revelation that WPCC spent £263,000 on legal fees. This is an underestimate. Between 2011/12 and 2018/19 they spent £586,009 on legal fees and £148,301 in professional fees. drive.google.com/file/d/1F50…

The latest news from the Charity Commission is that they will publish their “Statement of Findings” from their Statutory Inquiry into Wimbledon and Putney Commons Conservators (WPCC) on July 2nd.

When and if the Commission‘s Statutory Inquiry report is published on the 2 July it is helpful to know who were WPCC Conservators / Trustees on what dates. Here’s a pdf spreadsheet covering 2008 to 2020 with key events drive.google.com/file/d/1ZhQ…

Since 2019 I’ve received 4 different draft “final reports”. Will the 2nd July report actually be published? Regulatory action at WPCC began in September 2015, almost five years ago.

Replying to @MichaelRosenYes
@MichaelRosenYes Michael, do you know that the govt have suspended the School Fruit & Veg Scheme leaving 2.3 million children without their daily fruit & veg? We’re campaigning hard to get the #SFVS restarted with @ChefsinSchools @Feeding_Britain @SAfoodforlife

Thank SO much to all the people who donated tins and food for the Regenerate-RISE weekly deliveries to isolated older people. Delivered by pedal power to the HQ at 22 Felsham Rd. regenerate-rise.co.uk/

Labour’s deputy leadership contest is going from strength to strength with @AngelaRayner launching yesterday and @DrRosena today. Members are going to face a very tough choice. But I guess that’s a nice problem to have
I’m an NHS Doctor, and have spent time working in disaster zones. Lives aren’t valued equally across the world and a person’s worth is measured by their material value. This drives me to want change - which is why I’m running for Deputy Labour Leader. #TeamRosena

For clarity, we should point out that the tents in the picture are not the replacement homes for council tenants but a lovely organic farmers market.

If you're waiting for a Wandsworth parking permit, please bear with us. Since we introduced our new system "to let residents manage all their resident and visitor permit transactions more simply and easily", formal complaints have risen by 700%. We've quite a backlog.

#sheffcouncil hired a £35k PER DAY QC to present their case. In their desperation they hadn't checked the application was feasible. Having ignored calls for talks from campaigners they ended up in an embarrassing, expensive scramble today. Another gross waste of taxpayers money.

Lovely photo of one of our majestic new Tooting Common limes. Truly a legacy for Cllr Chopper Cook to be proud of. teapaw.org/CllrFleur/status/10162…
Urgent: @EnableParks will you be watering the new lime trees on Tooting Common (aka Chestnut Avenue) today? 💦 some look like they are doing better than others in the heat. @TootingCommon

This is what happens when you have men in government who've been raised from birth to believe it's someone else's job to clean up after them. They throw tantrums when they finally make a mess no-one can fix. #Brexit

Today’s council meeting was rather disappointing. The Labour group refused to extend an olive branch to tree campaigners and voted to carry on with their civil injunction. We can’t go on making the same mistakes but expecting different results. #saveshefftrees

Sad news that our director of children's services is leaving, mainly as her severance package is going to cost us £300,000+ Here's a highlight from her time with us during which OFSTED downgraded its rating of our children's services from good to inadequate.

Sweetheart, if you read the whole of Harry Potter and thought the author would support an authoritarian braggart who's too dumb to know how dumb he is, burn away. And so will I.

Exemplary work by our conservative councillors who've voted to close a special needs nursery. Another one to add to the long list of One O'clock Clubs & children's centres we've already shut. Any mini-golf operators or cafes looking for somewhere to rent? #keepwandsworthcheap teapaw.org/CllrSimonHogg/status/1…
The Tories are cutting £1 million of Early Years funding. Tonight, Wandsworth Tories have voted to close Siward Road nursery which offers specialised help for SEN children. They’re really showing themselves to be the nasty party.

Our conservative councillors are working hard to keep your council tax low by paying people who are actually working hard as little as possible. teapaw.org/CllrSimonHogg/status/1…
The Tories tonight voted against our amendment to pay all care workers the London Living Wage, in the Adult Care & Health Committee. We’ll be taking this to Full Council to put our case forward
