A 3,000-home southern extension to Oxford has landed on planners’ desks. The South Oxford Science Village, south of Grenoble Road near the Kassam Stadium and Greater Leys, would also include an extension to Oxford Science Park, schools and a new ”local centre”.

The same as for COVID and evidence on this was given in the Covid inquiry and many parents were fined for rightly protecting their children. The most medically vulnerable children in the UK are the least protected.

I live in Medway, am a regular bus user and agree that the road network, retail & entertainment sectors here are designed around you having a car. 🫤
e.g. One area with a cinema, restaurants and other entertainment venues has only one (council subsidised) bus every two hours and none on weekends. 🙄

Has anyone enabled Steam Cloud for a Steam playtest? Is it possible?
I've gotten it to work for the main game. But when I try to enable it for the playtest build, it doesn't work. It's all like "you need to select the tick-box in your store page info", but that tick-box isn't there for playtests 🙃
