Totally agree!

[Rory Stewart @RoryStewartUK]

Radical improvements to British public life must begin with radical decentralisation of money and power - trusting local mayors, communities, citizens assemblies and individuals. Our world is too complex and diverse to be micromanaged by London

That should be “to have shorter showers “ !!😅😰

[Gordon A Jackson @gaj1952]

Just watched an @AffinityWater advert on @skytv encouraging people not to have shorter showers and not waste water. On 8 August @SurreyCouncil whilst resurfacing our road broke the fire hydrant outside when filling a tar machine . @AffinityWater can’t repair until 22 Augus! 😫🙄

Flytipping overnight, not v nice people cut a lock, bent outer gates, cut 2nd inner wire gate, dumped waste in field, letting cattle onto road. This rural crime is nasty & targets communities & businesses, puts cattle & road users at risk #ruralcrime #flytipping @SurreyHillsAONB
