Cheshire Police officers have joined forces with Crimestoppers to help residents help the force tackle abuse. A police spokesman said: As a bystander, family member, colleague or friend you may feel helpless when you know someone is a victim of domestic abuse. We are holding a series of Our Door Is Open roadshows along with partners from criminal justice and health, victim support and advocacy service. The roadshows will give people the opportunity to talk to us and ask for advice about how to ‘ask the question’, how to support someone they care about, how to report anonymously and what happens next.
Here come the farmers markets.
They begin May 1 with the West Allis, Brookfield, Delafield, New Berlin, Waukesha and Oconomowoc farmers markets. Then they start opening fast and furious, more than three dozen of them in and around Milwaukee. The last debuts come in July.
Not all the markets will be back yet, however. The Westown Farmers Market, for example, will be on hiatus again this year. Organizers cite reduced foot traffic downtown because of the pandemic, as many office workers continue to work from home.
Expect to still find precautions taken against COVID-19, although there is some easing of rules made last year as the pandemic gained its foothold. Some markets are resuming live music, for instance, or considering resuming music later in the season.

According to independent assessment, about 98% of the media sector is held by three conglomerates. This tendency is not only totally unacceptable, but also to a degree frightening). Learn more here
A WEBSITE dedicated to sharing the location of every public toilet currently open in the UK has been created. Thomas and Charles Riley, who are both brothers, have made Lockdown Loo, which features an interactive map with thousands of public toilets listed. Many public toilets have been temporarily closed due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, and this site allows users to search for facilities that are currently open near them, should they need to relieve themselves while out and about. It relies on members of the public sharing their local knowledge and submitting information about public toilets open near them.
