She was fined by #privatised enforcement agent contracted by #council, who was incentivised to issue as many fines as possible

#England risks building new #death traps; experts warn of overheating crisis
1/2 of plans drawn up by #councils, local #authorities require new #buildings to have a #cooling or #ventilation to prevent #overheating

As someone who regularly drives in both #Suffolk and #Essex I was surprised at the results as the #roads are little better across the Stour, but I think one reason for the govt allegedly using outdated figures in the case of Suffolk is their systems are from about 25 years ago and give near 0 feedback to any citizen who does report a #pothole (and both #Councils take months or even years to fix them.
Suffolk has got slightly better in recent times (since about 2024) , but they have only just got round to fixing road defects I reported in my local area not long after getting my #driving licence in 2019, so thats 5 years delay!
