Latest election leaflet to come through the door features (in two sides of A4) 20 mentions and 16 pictures of @BimAfolami and six references to Hitchin, but nowhere in 675 words can I find any reference to 'Conservative'...

Opening on 8th Sept, our latest comedy 'The Date'. Trevor is on a date. He is nervous, clumsy, canβt cook has no interests or hobbies & he is convinced that the fates have always despised him. What could possibly go wrong?! Book now ticketsource.co.uk/themarketβ¦
Fair play to @NHDCLibDems, going door to door in Hitchin with a survey on voter priorities on the hottest day on record and at lunchtime, too. These guys mean business. Latest polling makes H&H seat a real target, just another thing for @BimAfolami to worry about.
Take a hat, get your gloves, join another sowing and growing session at Ron's Plot community allotment in Burford Way today from 11am, £8 admission includes a selection of cuttings to take home. Book at ticketsource.co.uk/booking/s⦠#hitchinfestival

π | We've been working hard this week at @HitchinTownFC! Three covered terraces chamfered behind the goal to achieve optimum pitch views whichever stand you're in.
Steelwork is now complete ready for sheeting.

What an inspiring day, talking to the amazing families of Hitchin! Sold our first books, but more importantly had conversations and connections that made us feel our little bookshop will do some good for our community. Loved it! #hitchin #hitchintown Thank you @SharedHitchin π

We heard at #PeoplesCovidInquiry that all GP records will go to an NHS data store on 1.7. Who knows what will happen to it there. Big business is already after it
