Well done @YForsey for speaking up about cycle parking. The route along the river is traffic free which is great, but if people can't safely park their bikes they won't use them to visit.

Do you have any medical equipment you’re no longer using? Help your Local Authority and NHS services help others by returning it to Cefndy-Medequip.

Delighted to see @willquince reaffirm commitment to family hubs having visited @barnardos Berechurch service in Colchester last year. We know that family hubs are a lifeline for many parents which is why we want to see one embedded in every community. barnardos.org.uk/sites/defau…
Great to talk about all things family hubs with @AFNCCF today 🏠. I was especially glad to open bids to our £12m Transformation Fund so that more areas can benefit from the support these services offer families. Read my speech in full here gov.uk/government/speeches/c…

This week we wanted to thank Andrew Thomas from Ty Sign Primary. Andrew is a massive community asset who has supported us from our early days. Always shares resources and makes sure parents are supported and well informed. Thank you Andrew!

Everyone should read Sarah Everard's mother's statement - written with heart-breaking fury and grief. (Particularly those people who still believe that it's not dangerous for a woman to walk alone at night in London. Those tweets suck.)
