I've been quiet here recently - preoccupied by the UK government's proposal to remove statutory consultee role from the Gardens Trust, the only national organisation with a remit to care for our unique historic parks and gardens. Do please read and share: www.express.co.uk/news/uk/2056...

All 3 changes to the statutory consultees are of concern. The benefits of historic parks and gardens/the Gardens Trust are outlined here: bit.ly/3FjRvx8. Also of concern are the lack of coherence of (and justification for) the wider proposals, and what all this signals for the future of planning.
We are concerned that government is considering removing @sport-england-se.bsky.social as a statutory consultee in planning applications.
Sport England isn’t just about formal sport, it works to help *everyone* be more active.
This is why it matters… for #people, for the #economy, for the #NHS:

Shocking move by the government to remove statutory consultee status from sole organisation looking at UK's world-envied heritage of parks and gardens. We're a tiny charity with brilliant volunteers providing this service to the nation - do show your support. thegardenstrust.org/the-gardens-...

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II.
Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.
