7am start

Day 14: Monday is a 7am opening of Jacquis cafe in North Street, Sudbury. Great breakfasts, good drinks and great staff. This is an offshoot from staff from the Waggon & Horses. I hope they have every success with their venture.

Back to work. Budget update and realisation that school budgets are being cut or frozen now! The Tories at Suffolk have reduced the size of the pot for SEN and the Government have frozen money for Sixth Form via the LSC. No account of pay award in the funding. No redundancies but other schools are.

Evening is over to help Kathy Pollard with a residents survey on 4 streets in Pinewood near the new Suffolk One Sixth form centre about the proposed parking restrictions. Great doorstep councillor work getting the views of residents whether for or against the proposals so views can be represented accurately. Lib Dem Councillors work hard for you and Kathy especially.
