Fab day at the RSA #fellowsfestival2025 - lots of great sessions around the theme of Connected Communities, plus a foray into Victoria Embankment Gardens to explore the Playful Green Planet approach to engaging early years and primary age with green spaces. Def wider appeal!

Really useful and informative piece on the question of noisy heat pumps. Conclusion: Valid concern, but less of a problem than press coverage might have suggested. Competent installation and improvements in technology and control systems reducing further. https://t.co/u51Gfv7agu

The book 'Doughnut Economics' opens with the story of Yuan Yang who, as a young economics student back in 2008, was challenging the outdated theory she was being taught. Last night she was elected as the first-ever MP for Earley & Woodley. Huge congratulations @YuanfenYang !
