  1. Stop the #UK #fines racket

    Volunteer in #Nottingham #fined for leaving 1 kale leaf in shopping #trolley

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

    - This shouldn’t happen any more

    New #Defra guidance clearly bans ‘pay per #fine’ incentivised #punishment

    But #councils are so far ignoring this guidance, which has not been publicised

  6. 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."

    Wow, they used people of Asian decent there too. We almost thought it would be localised and they would talk about wealthy Californians wanting a second summer home or some crap like that. They are inventive like that.

    In Australia we have a seedy interestGroup called the #PropertyCouncil (non-govt #councils are suspicious) and they put out daily #pressReleases in local #MurdochRags to spruik the #realEstate market.
