@inpoco@americanwombat@YaaAsantewaaBa I think I learned a fairly accurate description in the 1970s, cannot understand why the world (or maybe its really more USA) has gone backwards since.
@americanwombat I thought the less green people paid the parents of some green people for their children then sold them on at a traders profit to the purple ones in willing deals.
@HaydonsNorth@Merton_Council@MartinWhelton Two old ladies on Wednesday, at stop further down road , waiting at the old shelter - had to walk down road - "thank you driver for waiting we forgot they moved the bloody bus stop" south londoners at their best.
@BarnabasCalder@BrutalConcrete Any chance that you could share the obession with new build by demolishing sound and extenable housing blocks with casting new concrete as it falls on deaf ears at housing associations and local planning that are happy to reduce CO2 for banning cars, but not for building material
@DaveHill done without consultation under emergency powers. Some councillors in some boroughs have reigned-in their officers who seem to be doing things without thought of implications.
@PeteApps Simple to fix. Re-pass the Defective Buildings Act (which empowered local authorities to re-acquire sold council houses at the price paid) to allow and fund local authorities to acquire units at price paid (and ground rents for peanuts)
@PeteApps This could be part solved by having ALL BR dox related to planning in the public domain, plus variations to approved planning consents (which often are not put up where agreed by planning authority officers). The second check of the public would flag up some areas of concern

@PeteApps People are mobile, hence the less need for sprinklers - which are an insurance reduction for factories with equipment in ). Stay put works in compartmentalised structures where flame and fire spread is minimal - and only applies if not in immediate danger from fire , when you go
@PeteApps Is that you could use it ? (there is over-riding principle of negligence and duty of care in law above any guidence on materials ) or that there was no restriction in not using it?
