An education in the risks of pre-empting someone else’s consultation

Usually consultation related cases in the courts tend to be fairly straightforward. The facts and complaints being made will be to the point and normally revolve around one or two identifiable flaws or alleged flaws with the consultation process. Occasionally, we see a case that is significantly more complicated, either due to unusual facts or […]

The Week in Parliament

Article / Stephen Hill

This weekend we will see the next stage of the lifting of lockdown, with pubs, hotels and campsites preparing to open again from Saturday 4th. All except in poor Leicester, which will be continuing the current phase of lockdown as part of the Government’s plan to impose local lockdowns on coronavirus hotspots. These local lockdowns

If it’s good news – do we still need to consult?

Article / Rhion Jones

A few days ago, the newspapers were unanimous. One headline declared Summer’s back on. Another proclaimed a Magic Monday. The Daily Mail said Hurrah. Perhaps we can excuse the media, so tired of covering grim news of the pandemic over recent weeks. But it raises an old but very real question. Do you really need

Are the public now engaged enough on climate change to get involved?

Article / Andy Mills

With the publication of the APPG on Climate Change Annual Report coinciding with some local authorities announcing section 114 measures, councils are facing the challenge of not only coming out of lockdown carrying overspends but with public expectation of doing so whilst also responding to the climate crisis. Recent research from IPSOS found that ‘seventy-one

Trial By Jury- Speedy Justice at what cost?

Article / Stephen Hill

One of the most famous and lauded articles of Magna Carta, generally (if perhaps a little inaccurately) considered to be a foundational document of rights in England and Wales and respected around the world, is Article 39. It reads, in translation from the Latin: “No free man shall be captured, and or imprisoned, or disseised

The Week in Parliament

Article / Stephen Hill

Westminster now seems to be back in more or less full swing, and we are starting to see the return before Parliament of several of the key Government bills trailed before the coronavirus emergency kicked off. Much of the new legislation is functional enabling legislation related to Brexit (remember that?!). In the Lords particularly, increasing

COVID-19 disparities report- Missing pages and unconvincing ministers

Article / Stephen Hill

One of the biggest (and most timely) stories from a busy week of news has been the debate over the missing pages from a report on Covid-19 disparities. The missing pages detailed much needed recommendations to protect black, Asian and minority ethnic communities from coronavirus, as these communities have been much harder hit by the

Whither consultation? DFID, the Foreign Office and a Massive Question about Consultation

Article / Stephen Hill

Of the many news stories that dropped this week, one particularly drew our attention as being somewhat underestimated in its importance. On Tuesday, Boris Johnson stood before the House of Commons and announced (the story having been thoroughly pre-trailed to the press) the upcoming merger of the Department for International Development into the Foreign and

Should Councils consult on Statues?

Article / Rhion Jones

The Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement has many objectives, and it is unlikely that removing statues from the country’s streetscape was a particularly high priority. But in the strange way that the accidents of history frequently serve to change the agenda, suddenly Councils up and down the land are having to think seriously about some

Collaborating to make a green recovery possible

Article / Simon Angelides

Covid-19 has had devastating effects on families and society. It has also allowed us to witness the benefits of a cleaner environment and the adaptability of the general public, and to reflect on the potential for a post-pandemic ‘green recovery’. We need significant changes in mindset and behaviour if we want to achieve this. It
