@1263 That'd be the petition she set up in order to petition the ruling Lib Dem party that she's part of in the District Council that she now chairs?
She's just another Lib Dem Stooge, she'll do whatever Wrigley tells her to do. Hearing her advocacy on health and wellness matters is also tiresome, if not hollow and it's hard to take her seriously.
We have a mental health pandemic and mental health services are cut to the bone. This sort of tragic incident is becoming more commonplace.

Dawlish News (MId Devon Advertiser) can't even get the basics right. Roots Community Enhancement is not a charity. It is a 'social' entreprise, a Community Interest Company (CIC) Company number 11375189 It relies on unpaid workers (volunteers) to deliver just over 4 hours of provision weekly plus just under 3 hours additional hours one day a month.
