  1. It’s time for fair votes in English local govt

    In #English local #elections, #voting system means #councils don’t reflect how people actually #voted

    A small vote shift can completely change who is in control

    Right now, millions of local #votes don’t help shape the final result

    This leaves voters feeling powerless, because even when lots of people vote for change, final result can look nothing like the community itself

  8. This could happen anywhere in Australia:
    Biodiversity conservation going to the dogs

    Somewhere in crowded suburbia is a small creek with a bit of bush left behind by accident. It is a refuge for swamp wallabies, blue wrens and many other species of the biodiversity kin.

    ‘User groups’, that is locals and their dogs demand that the last bit of green is for their ‘recreation’ and not Australian flora and fauna. Pet owners allow that their roaming dogs destroy the last small fragmented refuges where native wildlife can survive.

    Recently a council voted to fence dogs out of the park "to manage the growing dog population in the municipality." There are “problems with dog behaviour…They (swamp wallabies) are threatened and chased and killed by dogs.”

    Anger and vandalism followed. Local pet owners demand to "make the park off-leash for dogs.” The dispute requires 'conflict experts’ from outside to get involved.

    In a place where everything is 'dog friendly’ and where half of Australian households own at least one dog, they implicitly ‘voted with their paws’ to be 'wildlife unfriendly'.

  12. These two #Councils are my local ones, running my local #county, #Northamptonshire. I knew this sort of thing would happen if #voters here put #ReformUK in power, but it seems #Deaf people, & the #disabled in general, count for NOTHING, either with the voters, or the #Reform #politicians they've elected. These councils won't be coming up for re-election until May of 2029.

  13. The latest Council Tax bill just dropped through the letterboxes of countless people across Anglesey today.

    The cost? £2227 for the year. £42 per week. For a rabbit hutch bungalow.

    A fundamentally regressive tax that no party ever wants to make fairer.

  14. theguardian.com/society/2026/m. "The national #membership body for #councils found that since 2017-18, local authorities across #England had spent almost £1.5bn more on temporary accommodation (TA) than had been reimbursed in #housing #benefit from the government. Without intervention, this figure is set to balloon to £3.9bn in the next 4 years."

  15. Workers’ Councils Forming in Iran

    For decades, our demands for bread have been answered with bullets, and our demands for dignity with prison. But today, the silence has come to an end. We, the workers of Arak’s factories, declare the following

  16. 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!

  17. #Labour minister demands #English #councils stop #boycotting #Israel or face legal action

    Several local authorities have voted to introduce a boycott on firms complicit in #Israeli #WarCrimes, supply arms to Israel or benefit from occupation of #Palestinian #territory

    Communities Secretary Steve Reed warned councils they could be at risk of being sued by suppliers who lose money; they could face paying 'damages'

  18. Ministers signalled imminent crackdown on so-called for-profit #litter enforcement arrangements in #England

    Under long-awaited statutory guidance, #councils will end contracts allowing private enforcers to receive between 50% & 100% of each #fine they serve

    Govt indicated that it will implement statutory guidance banning fining for profit to “help local authorities to consistently and appropriately exercise these powers”.

  24. Wombats under threat from dogs and development
    Do visitors/tourists want to see beaches full of dogs or wombats?

    "Wombats on the town's Back Beach are under threat from human activity, including off-leash pet dogs.... Native animals are increasingly under threat as development speeds up in the regions...We discovered scores and scores of dogs frequenting [burrows]."

  25. A local council wanted my identification papers to respond to a SAR this week.

    'Just send it in an email to us', they bleated.

    Er, no, said I. It's not encrypted and a severe security risk. I won't do it.

    'Oh, if you send a password in a separate email, we can do it that way'.

    Er. Thanks, but I'll bring them in in person.

    Little wonder Russia and our other enemies find it so easy to attack UK IT systems.

  26. "Local government reorganisation (LGR) plans to create ‘mega councils’ in place of county and district councils will reportedly amount to over £12m over two years."

    localgov.co.uk/New-unitaries-i

    FOI: 'revealed that local authorities in #Essex, #Kent, #Sussex, #Surrey, #Oxfordshire, #Hampshire and the #IsleOfWight #councils have set aside £11.22m for 2025/26 to fund the move, with £1.05m having been spent on LGR costs in 2024/25.'

  27. Council wants to ban artificial grass on nature strips over microplastics and PFAS concerns

    "Fake lawns produce microplastics and contain PFAS chemicals that should not be near gutters. Artificial turf has PFAS and it's not good for our stormwater...If it gets into the stormwater, it can contaminate it... It can get up to 90 degrees …It also leeches microplastics into the waterways, impacting ecosystems. And finally, it will eventually end up in landfill."

  28. 30km/h as a standard on residential streets

    “Slowing traffic makes bicycle riding less stressful, encouraging more people to choose bikes as a safe and viable mode of transport...If you get hit by a car travelling at 50km/h, you’ve only got a 1.5-in-10 chance of surviving. If it’s going 30km/h you’ve got a nine-in-10 chance."

    "By 2030, transport is likely to overtake electricity to become Australia’s largest emitting sector, according to the Climate Change Authority. It is the only sector where emissions are increasing, according to government data."

  29. Energy worker Kane Minion was mauled to death by dogs while trying to read an electricity meter

    "The inquest is expected to run until Thursday, with three more witnesses to give evidence. Energy Queensland would not pay its meter reading contractor when workers skipped properties due to safety concerns about dogs, an inquest has heard...After Mr Minion's death, the company began to be paid for meter reads that were skipped due to the presence of dogs, the court heard."

    "A bandog bull-mastiff cross named Dozer and a bull-mastiff Rhodesian ridgeback cross named Scooby were euthanised following the attack."

  31. Local authorities: they are your enemy, to the point where they will even risk presenting fictitious, apparently AI-generated legal cases to try and 'win'.

  32. "Chancellor Rachel Reeves’ speech, delivered on Wednesday 26th March, laid out a series of welfare cuts and a hefty boost to defence spending, but little in the way of support for local authorities."

    "London boroughs receive around 28% less funding per person compared to 2010."

  34. @JugglingWithEggs #CarPark income is poison to #hospitals and #councils, giving incentive to fail at their non-financial primary aims. Also amazing none of #BBCNews, #EDP, #LynnNews and so on seem willing to question the #QEHKL absurdity. Building the car park tower and then building a new hospital on the RAAC hospital's car park means the new hospital will be hard up against the busy A149 coast road. Should build the new hospital extending in from the A1076 side, instead of the car park tower
