Changes to #Sheffield #Rotherham #Barnsley and #Doncaster bus routes, services and timings from today. Check your journey! If you use the bus to get to or from work, then please check to make sure that there has not been a change to your service. Here is the full list of changes from First Bus South Yorkshire. https://lnkd.in/eRCemH6f Here is the full list of changes from Stagecoach Bus: Sheffield: https://lnkd.in/eXtqrFnt Barnsley, Rotherham & Dearne Valley: https://lnkd.in/ePftTKPh One person contacted me about the proposed changes to the 95 services from Walkley in Sheffield. The comment was that there was more likelihood for delays and disruption if the routes were so long [the 95 now runs to Rotherham and to Crystal Peaks]. Looking at it another way, do longer routes give more chance to more people to get just one bus to work at a capped fare of £2, rather than having to change in a city or town centre and pay £4? Does it improve the productivity of the fleet as well? We need to give the changes chance to bed in, but if you do experience consistent problems with a specific service then please let me know and I will raise it via the Sheffield Chamber of Commerce South Yorkshire Transport Forum. I cannot handle the micro day to day issues but do need to know about any macro and persistent problems with a route or location.

Nottinghamshire: A Growing Hub for Opportunity and Innovation🌍 We’re delighted to share a fantastic discussion that took place on Notts Today yesterday between Mark Dennison from Notts TV and our CEO, Megan Powell Vreeswijk. In this insightful interview, Megan highlights the remarkable strides made by Marketing Nottingham & Nottinghamshire along with its divisions like Invest in Nottingham, in driving economic growth and inward investment across the region. Here are some key highlights: 🔹 2,500+ jobs created over the past three years, through collaborative initiatives supported by local councils, central government, and private funding. 🔹 Nottinghamshire’s growing presence at major events like UKReiiF, where we’ve showcased the region’s opportunities on national and global stages. 🔹 Promoting Nottinghamshire’s diverse strengths: from world-class tourism and heritage attractions to its cutting-edge life sciences, creative industries, and infrastructure opportunities. 🔹 How our prime location, exceptional transport links, and innovation hubs make the county a standout destination for investors. Megan also highlighted how the East Midlands Combined County Authority is amplifying Nottinghamshire’s voice, helping us promote the region more effectively—even in challenging economic times. 🎥 A huge thank you to Mark Dennison and Notts TV for hosting us and allowing us to share these exciting developments.

Currently it manages 300 freehold operational properties, including schools, venues, depots, offices, and sports facilities costing around £40 million annually. https://lnkd.in/eRBX-qti #cardiffcouncil

This has been something I have been advocating for years. The feudal association between #landlord and #tenant has not reflected the consumer and property provider in the way their relationship should be. The National Residential Landlords Association - NRLA and Ben Beadle are right to look to modernise the terms. I like concept of co-living rather than #hmo especially where it promotes community and social interaction. Ultimately, Britain's largest #rentalproperty organisation may end up as an acronym, whose anachronistic origin has been forgotten, such as KFC or HSBC. What do you think and what would you describe #landlords as (keep it polite though!) #lettingagents #propertymanagers #propertymanagement https://lnkd.in/e6cKaSq7

The #WestMidlands stands strong as a true engine for #growth, #innovation and #prosperity in the country, yet our research revealed statistics which show the scale of people struggling to find their place in our society. 🏠 20,000 people without stable housing today. ❓ 4,400 young care leavers (16-25) at risk of deprivation today. 🤞 30,000 veterans who may be in need of mental health today. 🛍️ 2,500 veterans who could be homeless tonight. 🤐 All feeling unseen and without a secure future for themselves. We've met some of these people, we've heard their stories, and we've shown them our plans for Ignis Lodge. 88% agree that it will improve their outcomes. And our research reveals we would return £1.81 for every £1 spent. Real people, real stories, real outcomes. Are you an organisation who would like to join us in this mission? We would like you invite you to stand with us as we walk alongside those in need and guide them into happy, healthy and independent lives. Be one of our partners in this mission and together we can make it a reality. Let's talk?

A word from Kelvin... "As we're sure you’re aware, the tough economic climate and rising costs are hitting us all here in New Zealand. Unfortunately, these tough times have had a big impact on us as a local charity. Despite having worked very hard over the last 13 years to develop a strong and diversified set of funding streams, we are still feeling the crunch. We have seen rising costs across the board, coupled with drops in funding across our funding streams (from reduced fundraising event tallies to reductions in availability of charitable grants, for example). We have just finished working through a consultation and restructuring process, and have reluctantly been forced to make some cuts to staffing and programme delivery for now 😢 What does this mean? 🔶Kiwi Can will continue at every current school with all the same children as now, just on a fortnightly basis, instead of weekly – but as action-packed and impactful as ever! 🔶Unfortunately, we are not able to continue to run the Stars Teina programme for the Year 7 and 8s for the foreseeable future. 🔶Our Stars and Career Navigator programmes for college students will continue as before. 🔶Due to a recent cease in funding for Toroa Career Navigator specifically, no further courses will be able to be delivered here in Marlborough. For clarity, our programme commitments to current and past programme participants remain, but sadly no new courses are now possible. We acknowledge our colleagues and friends who have lost their jobs and income, which saddens us deeply. This is obviously a super challenging time for us here at Graeme Dingle Foundation Marlborough and for our staff team and we really appreciate your understanding. It's important to stress that as much as possible we're adapting rather than implementing wholesale reductions in service delivery. And so, despite the cuts, our decisions will not greatly reduce the number of young people impacted – with nearly 4,500 students still expected to benefit from the Foundation’s work in 2025. We’re 100% committed to continuing to meet the ongoing needs of our tamariki and rangatahi here in Marlborough - and to building back up when better times allow. In the meanwhile, we turn to the whakataukī (proverb) which reminds us to ‘kia kaha, kia māia, kia manawanui’ (be strong, be brave, be steadfast) 💚 And If you’re in a position to contribute to our ongoing local work supporting thousands of students, please visit https://lnkd.in/gPfdNZBN ✨ https://lnkd.in/gdh5d8HH
