There were a number of reasons why the last government failed including lies and too many changes of leadership. But one of the reasons was that MPs were infighting. Voters don't like it. Now this government is going the same way - no support for the PM and his Chancellor!

👥 Following a Government announcement last year, local councils will be changing

A valiant try in the House of Commons this evening Chris but I fear that your government's Planning and Infrastructure Bill is determined to trash the environment.

And do I suspect that Bedfordshire wants to build its overspill in North Herts.? There is much that needs a critical eye on the Planning and Infrastructure Bill, not only for North Herts. but especially for its potential impact on the Oxford-Cambridge Arc.

There appears to be an interesting collection of huts between the Johnson Matthey site and the railway line.

Not only that but a BBC documentary in 2022 found that Drax was using wood pellets from environmentally-important primary forests not waste wood as had been claimed. And of course, there are the emissions from transporting wood pellets across the Atlantic.

Libdem Pippa Heylings raised a question during UQ in the House today about the security risk of buying Chinese wind turbines for the UK. But why don't we buy the turbines from the largest turbine manufacturer in the world, GE Power of Schenectady, NY ? Or Danish Vestas? #pippaheylings

I do have contact with an author who has an existing article on Yorkshire milestones. But she would want to know more about the audience and the format of the publication before she would be willing to spend time updating it. She is not interested in a blog.

But not one hopes illegal e-bikes / illegal e-scooters which are a danger to pedestrians, especially the vulnerable.

The Village College building hasn't changed much over the years and the lovely avenue of trees is still there - although the college now has academy status and the teaching is no longer so focussed on the agricultural community.

Our post in Bassingbourn has been a lot more reliable recently than it was last year. Let's hope Daniel Kretinsky invests in Royal Mail. Merry Christmas to our local Royston posties!

Bassingbourn church, which is a grade I building, is being redeveloped include kitchen, toilet and a gallery but the monuments are being preserved. The Nightingales are remembered locally by a road named Nightingale Avenue.

Travel in Times is really fascinating although I've struggled to make the route planner function work with place names and had to change the lat/long in the address bar. Maybe something I'm doing wrong.
