Vagueness and the Aftermath - A sporadic diary

[RED-DOG]

I do find it very interesting to go through the findings and discussions of such meetings on https://www.parliament.uk/business/news/ just had a quick look and your on there a few times.

That is interesting. There's stuff on there I'd forgotten all about.



I was somewhat irate when I wrote this.

To whom it may concern.

To my absolute astonishment I have been made aware that the Government intend to remove the specific Gypsy and Traveller accommodation assessments from the Housing and Planning Bill.


The very fact that specific Gypsy and Traveller accommodation assessments exist at all is testament to their importance. They did not come about on a whim, we fought long and hard for them and they were put in place because right minded people understood that they are an absolute necessity.

Without specific accommodation assessments, local authorities will be at liberty to ignore the needs of Gypsies, Irish Travellers and Show people and there will be even less site provision than there is now. We've been there before so the consequences should be obvious.

Less site provision means more unauthorised camping, more difficulty in accessing health care and education, more stress related illnesses, more broken homes and more misery for the nations most persecuted people.

People will be forced to either break the law or move into totally unsuitable bricks and mortar accommodation. 

Removing specific accommodation needs assessments for these ethnic minorities will not make the need go away.

I did see that one but thought I would leave it to you to share or others to read.

Not my kind of film, but I really enjoyed it when made to watch it.

I love almost anything biographical Rod, and these two were in their pomp in my era.

For someone of my vintage this film is worth watching just for all the 1970's stuff in the periphery and the soundtrack.

I walk past this stand of trees every day. I love to watch them change colour in the autumn.

PS- That speck of dust on the camera lens is a buzzard.

Three times a week I do a 'hard as I can go' bike ride for half an hour, which is about 6 miles on my knobbly tyres.

I like to do it in shorts because longs bind on my knees when I sweat.

It's getting too cold for bare legs now though, so I'm thinking of getting some man-tights.

Anyone with experience out there or do I just jump right in?
