Everyone, no matter who they voted for must be vigilent about environmental accountability. Our politicians must be accountable for decisions. Opportunities are there, make sure the Government doesn't just go for threats,@Conservatives @UKLabour @UKGreens @LibDems

South Ribble Borough Council @southribblebc·

In January we announced @southribblebc had, following an independent, Government Inspector-led Planning Appeal, successfully defended its decision to refuse planning permission to Wainhomes to build 100 new homes on land at Chain House Lane (see: http://tinyurl.com/we7ga2t)

Great news. What about the up to date ONS stats for housing, is Government going to allow local authorities to use up to date data to and best practice? This could mean lower land requirements to save precious coutryside and Green Belt land.

That is an awful statistic. Disadvantaged people need better support than this. We call for more effort to help those who are most disadvantaged. @AlokSharma_RDG @RobertJenrick @Shelter @salford_mayor @MayorofGM

Another one bites the dust! How many housing ministers have we had since 2012? We have lost count. Not sure it is good for housing delivery to have so much instability.
