Some of my posters have being going up in Larne Lough DEA.
I wish posters were outlawed - I hate them! (when the assembly is back up I’d like to push for them to be stopped).
In the meantime I will promise to reuse + recycle mine and I’ll be careful to pick up all zip wires

Delighted that we finally have a plaque to commemorate the innocent women ( and one man) of the Islandmagee Witch Trials of 1711 ( the last mass witchtrial in Ireland ). Huge thanks to
@DevlinMartina
who spearheaded this ( alongside Cllr John Matthews) back in 2015.

I’m delighted that the memorial to commemorate the Islandmagee witch trials of 1711 (the last witch trials in Ireland) is finally being progressed after being agreed back in 2015 by the then larne borough council. Big thanks to
@DevlinMartina
for your guidance then and now.

This is my local park. We are slowly shifting away from ‘neat and tidy’ to this beautiful approach - letting areas grow, mowing less and rewilding. I’ve been delighted to play a small part in the change. More of this please!

Flymo Donnelly.
Arrived at our garage 2 years ago.
He was full of fleas, scrappy and un-neutered. He’s doing well now.
He thinks he’s the Boss.

My ‘wild bit’ in the garden.
4 years ago we left this portion of the garden to its own devices.
I planted some yellow rattle and a few apple trees and left it alone.
I love how it has evolved over the years.

1 in 4 carers in Northern Ireland live in poverty. Unseen, overworked and humiliated by poverty. Horrific!
"the price people are paying for caring...is a life defined by debt, desperation and despair, and while they told us that they feel humiliated by the poverty they’re living in, it is the rest of society that should be ashamed of abandoning them to such severe levels of hardship."

The idea of cutting nursery spaces in SEN is unthinkable. It’s a vital resource where children first access new therapies and integrate with others for the first time. It’s too valuable to lose.
This is my severely disabled daughter Lilia when she was age 4 & in pre-school.
It is little shoulders like these, those of our most severely disabled children, that are expected to bear the weight & brunt of the latest education cuts due to political failure & disfunction here.

I’m delighted that the pelican crossing that I requested on the Roddens is nearly finished. It will help greatly with our students in Roddensvale to cross over the road ( to access Dixon park)
It should also help to slow down traffic on that busy road

This year I’ve bought only 2 new items of clothing ( one a dress for first council meeting ). Everything else is eBay / secondhand/ charity shop. I believe there’s no need to buy ‘new’. There’s enough ‘stuff’ already out there. Except from ‘stuff happens’ by Emma Glesson

Love the graveyard down home.There’s a gravestone built into the wall at the entrance gate. The man had a peg leg and was scared he wouldn’t make it out fast enough (on the day of redemption) so he asked to buried in the wall, so he’d be first out. Died 1879 aged 89.

Hybrid helps those with caring responsibilities can still fully take part and also means those with mobility / accessibility issues are included. Hybrid meetings have been a positive move. To take them away is regressive at best

- the money was coming from the Home Office ( not local government)
- every other council voted for this proposal
- the money was to be used to help integration
Proof if ever there was, that council elections are crucial to our image and well-being. This isn’t just bins and cemetery maintenance, these are human beings, shunned by so called Christians. My constituency is an embarrassing backwater. Vote these dinosaurs out.

Is this a scam? Text from mobile no with link to (what looks like ) Royal Mail. I started to fill in details this morning when half asleep, before thinking- how could Royal Mail have my phone number?. It asked for my DOB and mother’s maiden name. I didn’t proceed. Am I right?

I’ll never forget getting caught in a Rip tide and being swept out. It was terrifying!. Since then I’ve been ultra careful and never take for granted the power of the sea. I’m posting this to show what a rip looks like and what to do if you’re caught in it. Hope it helps
Just saw a young person get into trouble in the sea.. on a wee board, ended up out too far. They are safe now but please please be so careful when you’re in the sea, things can go tits up so quickly.

So delighted that we’ve begun an orchard in Town Park ( fruit bushes/ apple trees/ plum trees) It will be a source of food for people and wildlife using the park.
Big love to Vanessa (council) and Lynsey Poole for bringing it all together.
