How utterly stupid. When we have all shown we can successfully embrace digital wizardry, this is backward step for our communities. Come on HMGov, get your act. We want to continue with effective & expeditious local decision making using great IT, not a return to the dark ages!

Totally agree - a couple of days grace so people can obtain masks OK, but 11 days??
Why are we waiting 11 days to make masks mandatory in shops???

Agreed. We have the best opp to re-balance governance of our respective #BuiltEnvironments. Shouldn’t mean competition between areas – we should implement a ‘grown up’ approach to getting UK into good place, avoiding regional dog fights #JoinedUpDevolution

Fully understand - same when people say ‘life’s not fair’. Time we did something about it and not simply accept it!
Had a challenging conversation this weekend with someone close to me who said "inequalities will always exist" - I know they didn't mean that we should just give up addressing them - but can't get it out of mind, really depressing - how can I help? #BlackLivesMatter

Great overview from @Castconsultancy and @MFarmer_Resi. Sensible comment that undoubtedly aligns with many thoughts from the sector #EmbraceTheNewNormal #CrisisOrOpportunity

We’ve united with 60+ orgs to call for immediate action from UK Gov to protect women & girls during #CoronavirusLockdownUK. Existing inequalities mean women will be disproportionately impacted. Pls read our asks and RT: https://t.co/WR8ArPOKqq

Without urgent action, the impact of the Coronavirus outbreak on women and girls will be devastating. Over 60 charities have united with us on a list of urgent asks for Government.
