📰 The news that Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) loopholes risk England's poorest communities being deprived of trees, green spaces and wildlife picked up a lot of attention last week - and rightly so.

People deserve homes surrounded by trees, nature and healthy green spaces and new development should help create greener, healthier places to live.

“Wouldn’t it be better to spend the money on actual Access to Work—rather than investing in inefficient & hostile bureaucracy?
why is the @GOVUK struggling so much to deliver an effective & supportive Access to Work Service? It’s really not that complicated.” @DisRightsUK

"I’m in the same job, I’ve got the same impairment, is it likely that my need for Access to Work support has changed? The answer is a definitive no."

Healthy workplace policy focuses too much on encouraging people with health issues to manage better, while employer accountability is vague. Where is responsibility for workload & job design? Healthy work requires employers to take accountability, not shift it onto individuals.

Minister for Employment Dame Diana Johnson visited @TfL to hear how they’re encouraging people with health issues to stay in work

It’s #WorldPublicTransportDay. People all over the world are celebrating how public transport connects us – to work, life and each other. We hate to be party poopers, but for many disabled people that just isn’t our reality.

DWP research: 41% of health-related benefit claimants are on an NHS wait list for treatment. Of those out of work, 50% say their job prospects hinge on getting that care. This vicious cycle as disabilty gets cemented by lack of care but psychologised as a willpower problem.
