Recently @michaelgove told councils that "better use should be made of small pockets of brownfield land." @samuel_stafford suggests three policy levers for how to achieve this. samuelstafford.blogspot.com/2023/11/sme-si…

This GIF shows the incoherence of England's policy geographies. This incoherence is a barrier to both cross-sector policymaking and devolution. This is one key finding from our new report on English government bennettinstitute.cam.ac.uk/publications/d… @michaelkenny_ @BennettInst @instituteforgov

Hi @FutureInns your Bristol branch said it was company policy to have homophobic religious material in every room (Gideon's Bible) - can you confirm? What message does this send to your LGBT clientele?

@mattsta A belated happy birthday from me Matt

@adamwalther @wokingcouncil Congratulations and all the very best for the next step of the journey!

Some news: this is my last week at FutureGov. After 7.5 brilliant years I'm going back to local government as @wokingcouncil Head of Transformation and Digital. It's been quite the ride.

So... what do we call it now...?

I hate DRM. A lot. And while I started off hating DRM because of the ways it restricted fair use, the more I worked on the issue, the more I realized that this was just the tip of the iceberg. 1/

@owenboswarva @puntofisso @psd @adtrigg Ah, so I'm guessing the only way to know for sure what can be done with those documents would be to ask HMLR directly?

@raemond @puntofisso @psd @adtrigg No problem. Of course, the copyright by itself doesn't tell you how you can re-use the content – only who you need to provide permission. And title registers are not typical examples of Crown copyright information because they also have a specific statutory basis.

@puntofisso @psd Do either of you fine gents happen to know the copyright status of HMLR title registers (excluding any included OS maps)?

@owenboswarva @puntofisso @psd @adtrigg That's really helpful, many thanks. I've read through so many title registers and not seen a (non-OS map) copyright notice yet and was unclear what could be be done with its content, e.g. re-use. Defaulting to Crown Copyright make sense.

@raemond @puntofisso @psd @adtrigg Rights in a title plan might be more complicated, and the Crown will also hold database rights in the register as a whole. 2/2

@puntofisso @psd @adtrigg @owenboswarva Cheers @puntofisso, I'll reach out!

@raemond @psd not sure specifically, but @adtrigg might be able to engage on this, and @owenboswarva might have useful opinions :)

@adtrigg Hi Andrew, do you happen to know the copyright status to the content of a land title register document (excluding any OS maps)? Is there guidance on what can and can't be done with them?
