    It is good news but so telling how they've tried to turn it into positive PR after being found out.

    I know exactly where you mean AnniD.  Our local councils all seem to be as useless as each other.  The wierd council boundaries don't help.  Tewkesbury and Stroud seem to approve any development which will affect Gloucester but put very stringent controls on anything actually local to them.  Funny that!

    Thank you @JennyJ :). Hopefully the publicity seems to have had some effect. I know at a development near me, protesters started to peacefully take some down, and someone from the building site helped them.

    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Speaking of such things; I love the Trump headlines this morning.

    "Mr Mueller's report says: "While this report does not conclude that the president committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him."

    Trump: "Complete and Total EXONERATION. KEEP AMERICA GREAT!"

    The word is spreading, sadly too late for one little dunnock - and who knows how many others ?

    Don’t they still trap small birds in Malta ?

    I’m with Wild Edges in adding my congratulations to Trump !
