Today’s Desert Island Discs was just wonderful. @laurenlaverne is so good at just nudging guests along. @RomeshRang story is incredible, moving and inspiring.

It was really inspiring to hear @FatimaWh1tbread at #LGAConf24, talking about her experiences as a Looked After Child. Pleased, as she is a Thurrock woman, to tell her about Thurrock’s initiative to recognise care leavers as having a protected characteristic

Passing the old Adult Education site on Bridge Road and there is a tree on fire. Our car extinguisher hasn’t touched it, fire service on their way.

@Lambpix1 @thurrockcouncil I will ask for it to be done now. Will also ask for the Adult College site to be given a clean - it’s filthy!

@Gareth_Davies09 Although the full details aren’t yet known, it is clear that despite this sale Thurrock Councils taxpayers are still £100Millions out of pocket because of the Conservative chronic mismanagement of council finances and their reckless gamble with our money.

@KizzlePicz Hi Keith, I am happy to talk to the town centre and see if they will help with that. In the past we have spoken to folk at the mosque and shown where local car parks are.

Spent a really hot hour or so helping clear the alleyways around Benson Road, with Orchard Forum volunteers. It’s looking a lot better now - thank you Jacqueline, Katherine, Amelia, Adrian and Steve for all your hard work!

We asked the Department for Education in *March* to publish their Buildings Conditions Survey data, which was supposed to have been released in 2022. It’s now 6 months later, and children are being sent home from their crumbling schools. We’re challenging the DfE via the ICO.

@DaveMonkEssex @BBCEssex Dave is a fantastic broadcaster, there from the start! He really understands the importance of letting people speak - that you don’t have to fill every second. Good luck in whatever you do next, Dave.

So pleased the sun came out for our regular Grays Beachcombers litter pick along the riverfront! Thanks to all the volunteers for giving their time to collect waste plastic that would otherwise be washed back into the river.
