Mums calls for 'common decency' law change after cat killed in hit and run A heartbroken mum is backing calls to change the law around reporting collisions with cats after her beloved family pet was killed outsider her home.

Thanks Kent Online for sharing Ziggy’s story πŸ’”πŸΎ
No family should lose a beloved pet this way & no cat should be hit and left without a chance.
This is why we’re pushing for a change in the law, so other pets and families don’t have to suffer the same heartbreak.

Ziggy’s Legacy 🐾 Make it law to stop and report a collision with a cat. Cats are beloved family pets, yet unlike dogs and farm animals, drivers are not legally required to stop or report it if they hit a cat. This leaves injured animals to suffer and families devastated. ...

Back out for my first, very nippy litter pick of 2026, along Bayly and surrounding roads. Managed to tidy up a few bags full, a couple of nitrus oxide canisters and came across a stunning sunset on my way back! ❄️πŸ₯ΆπŸŒ…

I’ve written to Cllr Kemkaran to raise concerns about @reformukscotland.bsky.social led Kent County Council and the threat to libraries and tips. You may be able to remove dissenting councillors, but residents won't be so easily silenced in the fight to protect services our communities rely upon βœοΈπŸ‘‡

Some of the multicultural flags we'd put up were stolen last week - but our community’s response said it all. We came together, lifted each other up, and raised even more with pride and love! Hope and unity will always shine brighter than hate. ❀️✨ #HopeAndUnity #Dartford

Heartbreaking scenes yesterday the Manchester synagogue. As someone of Jewish heritage, my thoughts are with those we’ve lost. Now more than ever, people of all faiths must stand together - tackling antisemitism & Islamophobia with calm, love, hope & respect. πŸ™β€οΈ

At a time when people can feel more divided than ever, I’m so proud of how our community has come together - from standing shoulder to shoulder at the counter protest to sharing cake and kindness at our coffee morning. Humanity over hate, always ❀️ #HopeAndUnity #Dartford

I'm shocked that the new landowners are attempting to unceremoniously turf out members of Broadness Boating Club. It has been part of the community for 30 years and the boats keep the salt marsh from drying up, a unique habitat that must be preserved. My thoughts on KMTV πŸ—£β›΄οΈπŸ™

✍️ A letter to Kent County Council's leader "Reform took over running KCC in May...on a deceptive platform of anti immigration rhetoric...Running a council isn't about grandstanding or taking photos on sweeping staircases. People have given their vote and trust in you to take care of our communities"

I stood in a recent election & it was apparent people were unsure of what the Greens stood for. @zackpolanski.bsky.social eloquently conveys we're for environmental, social & racial justice and fairly taxing the super rich. In these fractious times we need Zack's bold leadership! I #BackZackπŸ’š

Endorsement from Laura Edie, Green party councillor for Dartford Borough Council. There is a photo headshot of her smiling in top left hand corner under the banner 'Rachel Millward Hope Can Win #Rach4Deputy'. Beneath the photo is a quote from Councillor Laura Edie which says "Rachel would be incredible in this role. She has experience of co-leading a council, would empower Greens from all backgrounds, push for investment and stand against Reform's divisiveness & lies! I'm proud to back her as the next Deputy Leader of the Green Party."

The world is burning & children are being bombed in Gaza. But who's profiting? Not most of us in the UK, disabled people the latest victims in protecting the spiralling wealth of the rich. Time to take a stand. Join @GreensOrganise to DEMAND a fairer society togetherβœŠοΈπŸ’šπŸ‘‡

I joined Labour, inspired by Jeremy Corbyn but left, appalled by Starmer's direction.

This is St Clements lake, where last weekend wildlife was attacked by individuals with catapults. This happens far too frequently & injuries sustained often result in fatalities πŸ’” I'm calling on the govt to bring in licensing for catapult ownership!πŸ¦†βœοΈ

A beautiful stroll along Dartford Marshes. We spotted butterflies fluttering by, a kestrel hovering above & sea Salps on 'Dartford beach". There's nothing like relaxing in nature to cleanse the soul...I'll continue doing all I can to protect our dwindling green spaces! 🐦🌿πŸͺΌπŸ’šπŸ¦‹

In Dartford, Reform made huge gains. Clearly they're led by an elitist charlatan and riding on the flailing 2 party system. However, @greenparty.org.uk did not cut through to working class communities. Now we've the opportunity to elect a leader who'll do just that! #BackZack πŸ’šπŸ‘‡
