Went to the newly reopened #Norwich library in the Forum today.
Was mostly impressed:
- Kids/Teens/Manga in one place, separated by arches
- Lots of study space and tables for group work and board games.
But…
- Sadly my niece tells me there are less poetry books - but they are more accessible on lower shelves.
- It felt sterile - no exhibition space. Didn’t see the signs that were previously on display at entrance stating it’s a trans friendly safe space (#Reform are to blame for this)

Those who follow me will know that I say #Norwich and wider #Norfolk are like night and day when it comes to political persuasions.
They will also know that I am no fan of the local rag, the Eastern Daily Press as it routinely sides with #Tories and #Reform.
Yet this is what its editor had to say tonight about the thuggery taking place in #Thetford that has threatened the life of one its journalists.

Greater Anglia has installed a new £4.9m sanding system at its Crown Point depot in #Norwich to improve train reliability and safety.
The system replaces manual handling of five-kilogram sand bags with a 30-tonne storage silo and compressed air network, distributing kiln-dried sand through around 500 metres of pipework to 55 delivery points across the depot.
Staff can now fill train sand boxes using pump-style nozzles, which automatically stop when full. The upgrade reduces manual work, prevents damp sand issues and supports better traction and braking, particularly during autumn and winter when trains use more sand on slippery rails.
The depot services 27 trains every 24 hours and can use up to three tonnes of sand during busier periods. Greater Anglia said the investment will help improve service performance, reliability and resilience for passengers.

Greater Anglia has been confirmed as the main sponsor of #Norwich #Pride 2026, which will take place on Saturday 25 July. The railway operator is backing the event for a second consecutive year and will lead the sponsors' section of the city centre march from City Hall to Chapelfield Gardens. Staff from Greater Anglia, c2c and Network Rail Anglia, now working together as GBR Anglia as part of the transition to Great British Railways, will join the parade alongside colleagues from the company's LGBTQIA+ employee network and allies. Norwich Pride celebrates the #LGBTQIA+ community and promotes inclusion across the city. Around 20,000 people are expected to attend the 18th annual event. Greater Anglia previously supported Norwich Pride as entertainment sponsor in 2024 before becoming the main sponsor in 2025.

Greater Anglia has invested more than £700,000 in improvements at Great Yarmouth #railway station ahead of the summer season. The work includes upgraded waiting areas, refurbished toilets, a new Changing Places toilet, improved passenger information screens, a live bus information display, a Broads Discovery Hub and a station defibrillator. Building repairs, including glazing, roof work and canopy redecoration, are also nearing completion.
New weekday peak services have been introduced between #Norwich and Great Yarmouth, providing extra travel options for passengers. The upgrades aim to make the station more welcoming, accessible and easier to use, while supporting visitors travelling to the town and east coast.

#Norwich urgently needs real crossings to enable kids to safely walk to school without parents.
At present there are just permissive crossings, with braille paving stones, no lights, no zebra element…they are just slightly raised like the ineffective ‘sleeping policeman’. Drivers ignore kids waiting to cross at them and just zoom over. I have seen so many near misses, it’s heartbreaking and infuriating.

I feel that this year’s #Refugee Week (15th to 21st June 2026) is more vital than ever particularly in my city of #Norwich.
We have experienced a lot of tensions and high profile court cases in the past year. But those that seek to exploit this and reject our status as a City of Sanctuary cannot be allowed to dominate media coverage on this issue.

I was away last week. In between visiting castles and cathedrals, I caught an excellent gig by Neil Cowley Trio in Norwich. (Excellent, but not as good as some of the shows I've seen them play!)

https://theconversation.com/why-a-1-500-year-old-monastic-rulebook-still-challenges-what-it-means-to-live-a-meaningful-life-283023. Well worth a visit to the #Sainsbury Centre in #Norwich, #Norfolk. Perhaps St Benedict does have something to teach us today.

The I don’t know if it was the British F35s or the American fighter jets flying over #Norwich this morning…but it genuinely made me think we are at war.
And perhaps to all intensive purposes we have been for some time. We just haven’t cognitively realised what war looks like in 2026.
