Public ownership is the only way to save the water industry Public ownership is the only viable alternative but is opposed by the government

Govt is OK with privatisation.

Ah...quite specialised. Sorry can't help you there. Sanding it will presumably provide a 'key' for better adhesion if gluing. Best of luck.

A photo shows a railway track in Switzerland where solar panels have been installed between the rails. The panels are flat and aligned with the track, allowing trains to pass over them. The setting is rural, with green fields, a road, and rows of trees alongside the track, backed by forested hills under a cloudy sky. Text below the image states that Switzerland is the first country to install solar panels between train tracks, enabling clean energy generation without disrupting train operations.

Imagine living in a country where such things were possible

1) Table view. All of our garden is grown on undisturbed soil - I’m only interested in gardens grown using the existing soil structure, working with and not obliterating the soil life that exists there already. For me, this is an important focus as the climate for the UK changes.
