Good to be out in #Cockington Village with @andrewbarrand this afternoon to talk with local traders about how we can ensure those visiting our bay during the summer can easily find their way to this historic gem. #TorbayHour #BoostTorbay
Great to see the new road surface at Meadfoot today and thanks to @SWISCoLtd for getting the job done on time. #BoostTorbay #TorbayHour
Great they are now backing this. Yet I wonder if these two will also be reviewing their own decision to refuse to compensate businesses for impact of overrunning @Torbay_Council works on Torwood St? This would be the best way to show Network Rail what should be done. #TorbayHour
Torquay households could get compensation https://www.devonlive.com/news/devon-news/households-affected-torquay-bridge-chasos-7232295
Those of you whole live on or around or use Windsor Road, you may have noticed the signs that work to repair the road was due to start today. This work has now been postponed and will be picked up later this year.

Great to see a large crowd on #Babbacombe Downs for today's #Torbay Armed Forces Day event, inc many stalls and activities. The veterans parade was made extra special by the presence of a WW2 veteran. Good to catch up with several residents whilst there. #BoostTorbay #TorbayHour

Read this thread - absolutely right call to go to Kyiv. A collision of values is at stake. Amazing how childish our discourse has become. https://twitter.com/BWallaceMP/status/1537864043939172353
So there is a lot of rubbish being spouted about the PM’s trip to Ukriane. 1. Firstly these trips are organised in total secrecy. Very few, and i mean very few, people know the dates and arrangements. Russia is still launching missile strikes right across Ukriane . 1/5
Totally agree with Ben. It should be obvious to anyone why such a trip would not be publicised ahead of it taking place. PM's presence in Kyiv is a strong show of support and solidarity from the UK 🇬🇧

It is obvious that this debate is not focused on the practical but on the party political says @kevin_j_foster no ideas, no plans, no alternatives offered
Great news that once again you can buy a rail ticket to Dartmouth, the town which had a station but no tracks. A great partnership which will boost tourism and rail travel to our bay. #BoostTorbay #TorbayHour https://www.devonlive.com/whats-on/whats-on-news/uk-train-lovers-flock-devon-7199294

For personal reasons today was not one I wanted to spend focused on politics, however this evening's vote meant a trip up to @HouseofCommons to take part in it.
“I have been humbled and deeply touched that so many people have taken to the streets to celebrate my Platinum Jubilee.”

Great to see this facility which will not only fill vacancies in our area, but help turn lives around and give a fresh start to them.
I visited HMP Exeter to see one of @TheClinkCharity's newest kitchens in action.
We’ve quadrupled the number of Clink kitchens to get thousands more prisoners the skills they need to find work on release – cutting reoffending and making our streets safer.
It was really great to visit @PaigntonPH this morning and see inside this beautiful building. Thank you for the tour.
So inspiring to see inside, learn about the history, hear about future plans and all the progress made so far. 📽 🎞 🎥
