Beware trolls!

We have until now published all negative comments on this blog, even those that appear to come from different people with different names but are actually from the same source.  We have done this to encourage debate.  

However, the comments from one particular source are now becoming simply unpleasant personal attacks on individuals rather than reasoned arguments and we therefore reserve the right to block comments from multiple names from the same source that do not add to debate.

The technical term is trolling and it can be a criminal offence.

It’s election year.

Parliamentary review of National Planning Policy Framework

Oral evidence began yesterday.  The summary is HERE.

An interesting submission is from the District Councils Network HERE which gives a flavour of the difficulties local authorities are finding themselves in.  The same applies to town and parish councils with the submission of the National Association of Local Councils HERE.

What is saddening is that DCN and NALC seem to have a much better grasp of the situation than EDDC.
