Gloucestershire campaign to reduce milk use angers dairy farmers A county council's support for the campaign to replace cow's milk with alternatives sparks anger.

We're a rural county, so before going after our dairy farmers, Gloucestershire's Conservative County Councillors should remember Single Gloucester cheese has Protected Designation of Origin and can only be made in Gloucestershire on farms with Gloucester cows.

Decision taken on future of coffee and donut stall in town after complaint 'The merits of the objection come across as similar to buying a house under the flight path into Heathrow and then complaining about aircraft noise'

Sometimes you have to say it as you see it. The complaint that brought this matter to committee had very little merit

Why misinformation about cow feed additive Bovaer prompted people to throw Arla milk away The additive is approved by regulators and experts say it is safe, but misinformation has raged around Bovaer.

There's a new conspiracy theory about the milk from cows fed with Bovaer.
Drinking this milk hasn't affected moo!

📋 Just responded to a planning application in Cheltenham town centre. It proposed converting commercial property into residential, so I reminded planners of the "Agent of Change" principle.
The developer is responsible for ensuring adequate noise insulation against late-night noise from extant uses.

🚕 This evening's licensing committee was nearly four hours long and heard three challenging taxi licensing items.
⚖️ I also have an action to write to the government about the unacceptable delays in licensing appeals being heard by the Magistrates Courts.

Councils must follow the laws made by Parliament.
I have tried to get Ministers to change the law, but to no avail.
Like the previous Conservative government, the current Labour government have declined to even review this legislation.
