Excited to see how they progress.

RT @WGTransport: For years we’ve tried to beat traffic by building more roads. It hasn’t worked.
Around the world, building more roads and lanes has resulted in more traffic.

In that time we've seen zero action on the housing crisis that is crippling communities in Cumbria and beyond.
We need less reshuffles and more affordable homes!

RT @RichardFoordLD: This week, I stopped taxpayers' cash going to water companies until they have a costed and time-limited plan to end sewage discharges.
These firms are not being run for the benefit of the British people and are polluting our rivers & beaches.

Very pleased that Dartmoor National Park Authority has decided to appeal the Darwall ruling and hope it will be overturned.
Our National Parks should be open for everyone to explore and enjoy - without having to ask permission, or being held to ransom by a few wealthy owners.
