Is it correct that pensioners on the full new state pension will now be paying tax (fixed tax threshold, fiscal drag and all that)? #pension#martinlewis
@ChrisGPackham@NFUtweets Flail and trash them so badly that they become gappy and eventually die and can be replaced by low maintenance fencing which takes up no space.
@KeithTarmer@DeborahMeaden@RootsAllotments Allotments will support a different ecology to cattle grazed and hay meadows e.g. these fields will no longer have endangered skylarks which need meadows for nesting nor will there be the dung, and the beetles which feed on it, for the two rare horseshoe bat species.
@DavidWebbTweet@DeborahMeaden@RootsAllotments The get-together won't have hurt butterflies, but all the development of the fields is changing the ecology. Some species rely on cattle grazed pasture and hay meadows
In order to buy it, the landowner has to be willing to sell.
@DesignAndMake_@DeborahMeaden@RootsAllotments Different ecological habitat. Only about 1% of meadow grassland remains in England. It supports different birds, butterflies and plants to the "garden-type" habitat of allotments.
@VenturersAc@RootsAllotments I hope the children don't have to go through the trauma of seeing a dying deer strung up in the fence nor the hedgehog that died when trapped by the fencing.
see Roots Allotments Uncovered on Facebook.
Have their employees been DBS checked?
@VenturersAc@RootsAllotments Roots is not a "good vibes project". It's a for-profit company desperate to create a good image after they destroyed red listed skylarks nests.
Note: they don't have planning permission for toilets or parking.
Additionally there issues with the entrance to the site, adding traffic to the A369, poor bus service, distance from Bristol, no planning permission for car park or storage and the sheer scale if the operation (over 700 plots).

Eligible to receive my state pension in 10 days. I've a small company pension (just enough to live on), no mortgage, no spouse or children & good health.
I have been considering deferring my state pension, but I am uncertain how long for, or if it is even worth it.

@BBCWomansHour@AWOCUK Brilliant feature for highlighting the issue, but I wish some advice had been given about how to arrange power of attorney when you have no relatives, suggestions for a living will etc.
Dartmoor, the North York Moors, & the New Forest are set to fall within the boundaries of the gov’s proposed new freeports - where planning rules are expected to be relaxed - prompting concern that plans to boost nature in national landscapes are at risk
