Most of the time when a consultation draws our attention because of its length, it’s usually because it looks far too short. We’re talking here about the ones about an issue of great complexity with only 4 questions (such as the recent NHS reform consultation). One this week drew our attention for quite the opposite […]
One of the big concerns held by campaigners and concerned citizens recently has been that changes introduced ‘temporarily’ during the pandemic might be carried over after the return to normality without any consultation. This has been a particular concern when it comes to low traffic neighbourhoods and other traffic changes- which we’ve written about extensively

Like many of us in lockdown, I have been taking daily walks around my locality, something which has become significantly less chilly (albeit not much less damp) over the last week or so. On one of my walks this week, I came across something, or rather two somethings lying on the ground in a muddy

Westminster is in recess this week, so we have a slight pause from London-based politics.

We saw an interesting complaint raised in the Commons this week about the High Speed Rail (West Midlands-Crewe) Bill, which we have seen (and commented on) before. The amendment that piqued our interest was one mandating a new consultation on the effects that HS2 construction works are having on communities and environments in Shropshire, Staffordshire
