I just supported this case! crowdjustice.com/case/cuss/?utmโฆ via @CrowdJustice Please join me.
This looks to me awfully similar to the @wiltscouncil video promotion for its โroad route optionsโ that will destroy all the farms owned by the council round #Chippenham.
always happy to do a bit of desecration for cash, Duke is tasked with nuking Stonehenge to make way for a new ring road (big thanks to @letshugbro for this suggestion!)
Repairing gaps is a conservation issue, constructing a chasm is not.

Please sign this ePetition. โIt is now 2ยฝ years since โฆ@wiltscouncilโฉ acknowledged a climate emergency. No meaningful action has yet been taken to reduce countywide emissionsโฆ.Itโs time for Wiltshire Council to show leadership with a properโฆplan.โ cms.wiltshire.gov.uk/mgEPetitionDisโฆ
This imageโฌ๏ธ shows how @wiltscouncil has arranged its dystopian plans for โgrowthโ in parts of the county it deems appropriate to sacrifice in order not to ruffle the feathers of residents in south & east Wiltshire.
The long-term purpose of a road in #Chippenham between the A4 London Road, and the A350 Lackham roundabout south & southwest of the town (whatever @wiltscouncil tries to argue) is to assist development of a 65 mile north-south expressway from M4 junction 17 to Poole.
By 2018, @wiltscouncil had realized that it couldnโt achieve its long-term road-building ambitions by imposing conditions for planning approval on developers. All the developers had to do was to sit tight & push @wiltscouncil into finding ways of providing roads/bridges itself.

#Chippenham doesnโt need 1000s of executive houses that @wiltscouncil only wants to boost council tax revenues. Chippenham needs affordable homes for local people who work in the town or the surrounding villages. Brownfield sites can be developed, & public transport improved.
โฆ@wiltscouncilโฉ plans to destroy its own farms round #Chippenham by building roads & thousands of houses on them. โฆWith no consultation & no warning, @wiltscouncilโฉ has already given farmers to the south of Chippenham notice to quit.
#Chippenham is under threat. #NoToTheRoad #StopUrbanSprawl #SaveOurCountryside #HelpUsSaveChippenham #ProtectThePlanet
Faced with a situation where it wanted but couldnโt afford, or persuade developers to pay to build roads connecting the market towns between M4 junction 17 & Poole, @wiltscouncil decided to call them infrastructure for housing. It got a ยฃ75m grant from national government.
Next step has to be Local Plan votes. In the same way as Neighbourhood Plans (and these proposed Street Plans) require votes, so should every single Local Plan. That would concentrate the minds of the local authorities preparing them and, usually, forcing them upon residents.
Street Votes turns planning battles into a win/win. What other planning reform policy can win the praise of Mark Pennington, @RosieP4, @shreyagnanda, @JohnFingleton1, @Will_Tanner, @AndrewBoff, @K_Niemietz, @boys_nicholas, @KarlreMarks AND @tylercowen? yimbyalliance.org/streetplans/

My letter in the FT today with @ianmulheirn critiquing Martin Wolf's piece on the UK housing crisis being primarily a supply-side problem.
Today is a good day. 18 homeless and vulnerable people received their first vaccine at Doorway this afternoon, thanks to some excellent collaborative working, and the football group's starting again tonight. ๐ @PHWiltshire
