The dinosaurs on #Shropshire #PlanningCommittee have voted to destroy ‘Darwin’s oak’ as part of plans for yet another unnecessary #road that will cross a #floodplain on stilts. Government will pay full cost so who stands to benefit there? https://www.theguardian.com/science/2023/nov/01/darwins-oak-to-be-felled-to-make-way-for-shrewsbury-bypass

#WestNorfolk #PlanningCommittee added a requirement that the borough crematorium should add standards-compliant #cycleParking 🙂. Still a bit annoying that the #cycling campaign even had to comment to get the borough to follow its own policies, but job done 🅿️🚲✅ Strangely, I think all the Conservatives voted against the cycle parking being up to standard. Not sure why.
