@russellcurtis Self interest trumps principles. Absolutely ridiculous!

I find it astonishing that architects would line up to oppose exactly the kind of urban intensification we should be supporting in sustainable locations. How can anyone claim this is "too tall"? architectsjournal.co.uk/news/celebs-po…

We are developing plans for the former Sanyo and Survitec sites in Lowestoft - residents and businesses are now being invited to give their views about housing need in the area, and what factors the Council should consider before the plans are created: eastsuffolk.gov.uk/news/have-your…

Continuing the "freeze" on fuel duty for the 13th consecutive year is no surprise. We're seemingly happy not to collect what's nearing £100 billion in lost revenues. And Labour would likely continue to cosset the petrol-powered.

Channel 4, wrote Stuart Hall, "genuinely enfranchised large sectors of the audience, opened the airwaves to excluded groups... gave representation... to marginalised ways of experiencing modern life and legitimised neglected forms of cultural expression." change.org/p/stop-the-pri…

@BuildbaseUK what’s the best way to get in touch with a complaint? Not had any luck with any of your numbers?…
