B.C. Conservative MLA Harman Bhangu has reignited debate over the Pattullo Bridge replacement, criticizing its four-lane design as a missed opportunity during a June 26 podcast. Bhangu argued the bridge should have been built with six lanes to accommodate future growth and improve traffic flow, particularly for trucks. Transportation Minister Mike Farnworth dismissed the criticism, defending the bridge as a modern, safe, and regionally supported solution. The bridge, set to open this fall, has long divided stakeholders in Surrey and New Westminster over its size and design.
The City of Delta and Tsawwassen First Nation have received $80,000 in joint funding from B.C.’s Community Emergency Preparedness Fund to improve emergency notification systems and evacuation plans. Each community will get $40,000 to enhance multi-channel alerts, collaborate on readiness exercises, and update local safety protocols. Announced on July 24 by the Ministry of Emergency Management and Climate Readiness, the funding is part of a $2 million provincial initiative supporting 51 local projects across B.C. to better prepare communities for emergencies.
Swollen ankles and legs could be an early warning sign of heart failure, according to health experts. The British Heart Foundation and NHS highlight this as one of the most common symptoms, caused by fluid buildup due to the heart’s reduced ability to pump blood effectively. This condition, known as oedema, may worsen throughout the day and can be accompanied by fatigue, breathlessness, and irregular heartbeat. While the swelling can result from other factors like diet, medication, or pregnancy, persistent or worsening symptoms should prompt immediate medical attention. Health officials urge the public to take such signs seriously for early diagnosis and treatment.
UK health officials have launched a major campaign urging young people aged 16 to 25 to get the HPV vaccine, after more than 418,000 children left school without receiving it over the past three years. The vaccine protects against cervical and other HPV-related cancers. While typically given in Year 8, those who missed it can still get vaccinated for free through their GP. The initiative is part of the government’s goal to eliminate cervical cancer by 2040. Health charities are supporting the effort by raising awareness and providing educational resources.
Three Surrey hospices — Phyllis Tuckwell in Farnham, Princess Alice in Esher, and Woking & Sam Beare in Woking — are set to receive a share of £2 million in UK government funding aimed at transforming end-of-life care.

Sector leaders have welcomed the funding but continue to call for long-term financial support to meet growing care demands.
