The Railways Bill came to Parliament yesterday. It offers the chance to rebuild Britain's railways so everyone can travel with freedom, dignity and confidence. But only if words lead to meaningful action.

But you can help shift the balance of power! Support your local DDPO, to make sure that our authentic voices are heard.

Wonderful series, full of ideas & opinions. As a planner, I particularly like that Tim Heatly (Capital & Centric CEO) doesn't blame us for the Housing 'crisis'... he has no problem with Planning (episode 2).
Our CEO @jeremyhlin.bsky.social features in The Monitor by Housing 2025 on the future of social & affordable housing.

Many Disabled people are stuck in hospital, not because they're too unwell to go home, but because their home is not safe.

Solar power is surging – Britain has already generated more this year than in all of 2024.
Meanwhile, the government’s nuclear plans are crumbling. The Treasury admits a proposal for an underground waste dump is “unachievable” as waste from past projects still has no safe home.
