My first formal speech tomorrow. I’m proud to be seconding such an important motion which reflects the true values of our proud city. I know how important education is in building the foundations of respect for difference and the value of finding common ground.

🎓 With the #ClimateLeadershipAcademy underway for 2024, it's always great to check in on what our graduates are doing — like the innovative heat networks in Plymouth being led by Cllr Briars-Delve (Class of 2023) 👏

It's full council today. Devonport ward councillor Bill Stevens was presented with a long service award by Plymouth Lord Mayor to mark an incredible 25 years as a councillor. Congratulations Bill 🌹 👏
