If you think housing developers are always the bad guys, think again. Here's a snip from the latest email from @WeTweetTOWN with their message to @CommonsLUHC inquiry on why too many new developments are not #childfriendly.
Screenshot of email with photo of Jonny Anstead. Quote: "developers are encouraged to adopt a ‘tickbox approach’ that reduces the needs of children into the provision of play areas which are cheap, simple to incorporate into standard housing estate layouts and quick and easy to deliver, despite this approach falling short of genuinely supporting children’s play, development and independence."

We are neglecting the needs of young people, planning experts tell MPs

Only 6% of housing developments involve architects, parliamentary inquiry into young people and the built environment is told
