All UK govts seem to struggle with a big picture approach. Planning laws need to change for all property and dev. We need rainwater capture and grey water recycling as well as way better insulation.

How did it ever make sense for farmers to not even cover the cost of shearing whilst we import merino wool from New Zealand? It’s not a case of going back, there are many companies finding new uses for wool…

I want to know much more about exactly how & where that happens, so we can stop it! There should be comprehensive testing of what the leachate contains before any more goes anywhere. Perhaps we need to nationalise waste disposal as well as water companies. And hold them both properly accountable!

I replaced my 9 year old diesel estate car with a new hybrid SUV. I’d have preferred to get a smaller car but my elderly parents really struggle to get in and out of normal height vehicles. I try to manage so I’m always on electric power in town. It’s complicated.

Thank you for sharing. Now we really know. That explains CEOs consulted re planning & the shift in principles with the new law. I despair!
