Louise Brooke-Smith: The harsh reality is in tents | The Planner theplanner.co.uk/opinion/lou…
How utterly stupid. When we have all shown we can successfully embrace digital wizardry, this is backward step for our communities. Come on HMGov, get your act. We want to continue with effective & expeditious local decision making using great IT, not a return to the dark ages!

Totally agree - a couple of days grace so people can obtain masks OK, but 11 days??
Why are we waiting 11 days to make masks mandatory in shops???
Agreed. We have the best opp to re-balance governance of our respective #BuiltEnvironments. Shouldn’t mean competition between areas – we should implement a ‘grown up’ approach to getting UK into good place, avoiding regional dog fights #JoinedUpDevolution housingtoday.co.uk/news/kers…

Fully understand - same when people say ‘life’s not fair’. Time we did something about it and not simply accept it! – at Wirksworth, England
Had a challenging conversation this weekend with someone close to me who said "inequalities will always exist" - I know they didn't mean that we should just give up addressing them - but can't get it out of mind, really depressing - how can I help? #BlackLivesMatter
