On Tuesday (31st October) West Lindsey District Council will be in the High Court alongside Braintree District Council. They will be challenging the government's use of emergency legislation allowing the Home Office to impose asylum seeker accommodation centres in local areas bypassing normal planning and consultation procedures. In this video Cllr Sally Grindrod-Smith explains the situation and their experiences of the Home Office taking charge at RAF Scampton. We've heard similar problems from Wethersfield (Braintree) and have been experiencing them here with respect to Northeye (Bexhill, no decision yet). Common problems are a lack of information, no consultation, changes in plans and fundamentally...local people don't want these large camps in small communities. It is VERY CLEAR that the Home Office are not able to work with local communities. This legislation needs to end. The government and the Home Office need to sort out arrivals and processing...rather than introduce a third problem (large scale accommodation centres). We wish Braintree and West Lindsey all the best. Please show your support...or you could be next! https://lnkd.in/eTenk9fS

Bristol mayor Marvin Rees delivered his final State of the City Address last night. It was both a reflective and forward looking speech, sharing some of what has been achieved, learnings and also what Rees hopes is to come for Bristol after he steps down in May 2024. Housing, transport and moving in the right direction for people and the planet were core themes. Here are some of our key takeaways: 🏠 Delivering the right homes, in the right locations "this will be one of the biggest determinants of our future climate impact" There are 20,000 people on the waiting list for a home in Bristol and 1,300 in temporary accommodation. He highlighted how politicians need to work with developers to ensure homes help deliver on the UN Sustainable Development Goals. 🌍 Climate and ecology focus Rees empahsised that it isn't just the politicial will that will drive forward development in the right direction for climate. It needs a lot of money, too. 🚉 Transport Moving hundreds of thousands of people every day is no mean feat. With the overground train system not viable, he is pushing for the ambitious underground system to become a reality. Transport has been a hot topic for Bristolians for many years. Marvin stated: "We must go beyond make do and mend. This is a moment where we can make a decision that shapes the city for a century and more." 🌱 Regeneration Rees focused on the Temple Quarter regeneration, pushing for focus, long term commitment and collaboration for its success - meeting Bristol's needs and reduce the price the planet pays for that.
