Circular economies needed. Natural capital not GDP, reduce what you buy (easy for some in a cost of living crisis), repair, reuse, rent, refuse, redesign and recycle. Whether it is an empty house or a piece of clothing the ethics are the same. Invest in public transport not roads

Who really thinks that infinite economic growth in our finite little country is desirable, essential for progress and in any way #Sustainable? The reality it is a death by a thousand cuts for nature, wildlife & the countryside. #AttackOnNature #NaturesVoice

This was ~6 years ago. Buried by Stephen Kelly (awarded MBE services to planning this year) at the planning meeting that approved that next phase of growth, at the expense of our rivers and nature. There is STILL no new source of water. Growth is still being green lighted.

Just received this from @EnvAgency "...current levels of abstraction are causing environmental damage. Any increase in use WITHIN EXISTING LICENSED VOLUMES will increase the pressure on a system that is already failing environmental targets." Thread 1/2

He can deregulate as much as he wants but the houses won't get built. He can get as furious as he wants with bats, snails and nimbys, but that won't help. What he actually needs to do is calm down and speak to @CommunityPlann1 about what the housing crisis really is (and how to solve it)

🚨 NEW: Keir Starmer is "furious" about the lack of progress on deregulation and building, with a new planning bill being planned to be introduced to combat this [@ShippersUnbound]

Action on Empty Homes @emptyhomes
Great to be able to show the missed opportunities that our hundrds of thousands of long-term empty homes represent and the damage they do to neighbours and communities on Points West, Evening News: 07/08/2025: bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod… via @bbciplayer

Hey @Keir_Starmer no one voted for you to kill wildlife and remove affordable housing which is what these Tories are asking you to do. You were voted to be different than the Conservatives. This is your chance to prove that by ignoring them. Save the bats! 🦇

There ARE more planning permissions, BUT currently developers are building LESS. Market housing is just proving too expensive in a cost of living crisis. HOWEVER big developers want to keep the prices up, not build more and undermine their land-bank value & profits. @BBCNews
Jay@JibbaJabb

The number of new homes in England fell during Labour's first year in office. BBC Verify's housing tracker shows 201,000 homes got their first Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) in the 12 months to June 2025 , down 8% from the year before. #bbcnews

Thousands of homes across England are being built without community infrastructure, leaving families without access to playgrounds, schools, shops, doctors. Politicians bask in deregulation and housing targets, developers count profits. theguardian.com/politics/2025/…

Richard Tice MP 🇬🇧@TiceRichard·
The Conservatives rejected swift bricks in government, and now Labour is backtracking despite supporting them in opposition. Swifts are one of Britain’s most iconic birds, and in steep decline, along with other cavity-nesting species. All they need is a brick with a hole. It’s simple, low-cost, and essential. Without them, our towns risk becoming sterile and devoid of this accessible and vital part of nature. Over half a million people and leading experts support mandating swift bricks - why won’t the Government act?
