Look to the many faith-based groups to boost integration in inner-city, a new report advises council. Almost 50 faith-based groups play a big role in helping people navigate civic life in the north inner-city, it says – and the council should tap into them, it says.

Taking a look at the awful forecast for today - and sticking our heads out the door - we have decided to cancel today’s cleanup. But we will try again on Jan 31, same time (12 noon), same place (5 Foster Tce). See you there.

What do folks think about this suggestion to add the names of the victims to the North Strand bombing memorial?
A North Strand bombing memorial should include names of those who died, a councillor says. It’s timely, says Alison Field of Labour, with the 85th anniversary of the devastation approaching, and the world as it is.
