Working in a supermarket I was approached by Steve McFadden (Phil Mitchell off of Eastenders) who asked me if we sold scissors. I had to disappoint him because we didn't. He walked out, despondent. I wonder if he ever found any....

As a local authority planner, I can say that this sort of thing is the norm. However, we do only consider the planning merits that are raised in objections, and the number of objections received has no bearing on an officer's assessment of a case. It might sway elected members though...

Immortalised in Hansard for posterity.

Lee Anderson would no doubt approve.

When I was at university in Coventry in the late 1990's we were always told not to set foot in that pub as it had a reputation as anti-student. Apparently, if as a student you were to walk in you were asked which window you wanted to leave by!

I'm going to hope it's an AI generated image and not a scheme that actually got approved. But then again I work in the planning profession and I know we can actually produce this kind of thing without breaking a sweat.

The same goes for suitcases. They're always empty, and it's so obvious.

Good man. Minestrone it is then!

Thanks. Can I choose the flavour?

This week marked my last recordings for OGWN and the Bunker. It's been a tremendous six years and we part the best of friends. I now assume that most privileged role: of loyal listener!

My new baby pod 👶🏽 needs all my care and attention. And if you want to keep funding my work, you can do so here:

I can't imagine the circumstances that led to this sign needing to be displayed.

Ball: I might pick them up tomorrow if that's OK?

My local authority used to produce a myth-busting fact sheet for the public providing the stats regarding how much of the jurisdiction was built on, how much was undeveloped, how much was designated for landscape reasons, how much was given over to agriculture or golf courses etc.

Ok: so this had to happen on bluesky originally -

Yes, I hate Center Parcs - but let me tell you about the one holiday I really hated

A deep dive into Labour's proposed changes to the planning system, and in particular delivery of new housing, would be most welcome. It's absolutely key to achieving their stated aim to grow the economy.

Thanks, this is really helpful.
