Doing more for refugees
Last week, I was in Lesvos for a fieldclass. The module was ostensibly meant to focus on island economies, what issues does Lesvos' economy face by virtue of being an island. On the second day of the class, it became clear that the real focus had to be about refugees not as statistics on a page. But as people. We arrived in Lesvos on 19th March, the day the EU-Turkey deal came into effect. The next day, we went on a walk around Mitilini (the capital of Lesvos) when I took this photograph. It was meant to be a picture of the Greek Statue of Liberty, which celebrates their liberation from the Ottoman Empire. But in the bottom right hand corner of the picture, you will see a large ship, full of people waiting to leave.

Robert Plimmer has started conducting a survey in Cippenham Meadows to find out what local residents think about the way Slough is being run. The early results from the first streets surveyed show big support for Robert Plimmer's campaigns against the mistakes of the Labour Council on issues such as not listening to local residents on traffic schemes and massively increasing charges for sports pitches.
