1. ♻️ Our crews are out today carrying out waste & recycling collections, but the icy conditions are slowing collections across the area. If you were due a collection yesterday or today, please leave your bin out so we can get to it as soon as it’s safe.

So glad that stress it over! Spare a thought for the parents of A-Level students getting results, we’re stressed too! Really pleased & proud that eldest has been accepted for his first choice of uni and will be off to @QUBelfast. 😍

@SF_England is it totally necessary to make it so difficult to actually speak to someone? Every option on your phone line says “we do not need to speak to you” but clearly you do as I’m trying to sort out your mistake on my son’s loan account.

@SF_England Any idea of what option to use on the phone line as most end up back to “we don’t need to speak to you”. Most complicated phone system ever!

@SF_England Thanks Stephen. By my reckoning, parent contribution should be £5403 (the highest?) but that depends on what tax year taken into account as I started a new job at the end of 2022. Either way, income is going to be over the income for him to receive a full loan.

@SF_England Thanks Stephen. He’d approved for a full maintenance loan but he’s not entitled to a full loan due to parents income. We can’t login to our accounts as it says they’re not recognised, but we can’t create new ones as system says we already have one! Been going round in circles!

Nice evening at Heacham for a swim & potter about. Moody skies but really warm water. Huge thanks to @OSennitt for coming down to join us for a swim while chatting water quality, the effects poor ratings can have on communities & tourism and the benefits of open water swimming.

What a day. Huge thanks to the @WestNorfolkBC team for organising briefings and pulling everything together. Lots of work ahead, the investment in the prom will secure the future of our sea defence for Hunstanton. Even the seagulls approve!

One of the best debates I’ve ever seen in the chamber tonight. Such an important vote for the history and future of Kings Lynn. So much passion from all councillors. Proud to have taken part, I look forward to the journey ahead. Exciting times.

Got a business with more than 10 full time staff? Get in touch & let us sort out your food waste recycling. ⬇️

18 schools and @RSPBTitchwell became the first businesses to receive their new commercial food waste bins. Businesses with 10 or more full time staff or a larger number of part time employees must by law, have a food waste collection. Get in touch: [email protected]

@lunamaud3 @jamesowild Glad you got home eventually, it sounds like it’s been carnage. They ended up going Peterborough, then changing to Ely and then changing again to Kings Lynn. Kids were great though apparently, it’s all an adventure.

Youngest finally home after their day in London. Despite cancelled trains & being 2 hours late, says he’s had a great day with the best bits being visiting the Lego Store, seeing Ed Miliband in a debate & meeting @jamesowild. High praise indeed from Junior Grumpy Teenage Squire.

This could be interesting. Youngest was on a school trip to Parliament today. They’re all sitting at King’s Cross as trains to Cambridge have been cancelled. Wonder how long it will be before the school actually tell us? Don’t envy the teachers stuck with 20 tired hot teenagers.

Just got to love Covid. Spend the day working at home wishing I could just sleep, then when I could sleep, I can’t. And if I take the day off tomorrow, I’ll feel guilty that there are things I should be doing. Can’t win. I’m a grumpy terrible impatient patient.

@BylinesEast You also didn’t mention that we held a Water Summit last month to discuss water quality issues, bringing various agencies together to discuss how everyone can help. Or is that not such a headline?

@BylinesEast Why let the facts get in the way of a good story eh? At no point has anyone said it is unsafe to swim there. It won’t be the water quality affecting our tourism industry - it will be the press.

@BylinesEast You forget to mention water quality is a national issue, but each case suffers from different issues. You also forgot to mention that if you took the last 2 years of results rather than the 4 year average, then Heacham beach would be classified as good.
