Recently, I’ve got quite into electric vehicles and from a DIY POV, electric scooters. Though there are no trials in my city, they really are a great way to travel and like hybrid heating and cars, they offer huge economic & decarb benefits which politicians are really missing.
Full house to discuss why none of us can build houses! Herefordshire Construction Industry Group meeting to discuss Local Plan & 5 yr phosphate moratorium (both bad for SMEs) We are collectively beleaguered & battered but room full of experience + skills. Too good to wipe out?
Absolutely right to object to this. Only 15 storeys tall on a brownfield site in central Brixton? It ought to be twice as tall and provide twice as many homes.

Totally incoherent view!!!!! If you build on that brownfield, you've used up the land which is needed for non-housing needs....you know, brownfield! So, where do you put non-housing needs Either on green sites outside of communities #cardependency, or you don't build them! 🤦♂️

Will @UKLabour be the Party to put an end to planning uncertainty? 🏡 NFB Chief Executive, Richard Beresford and Head of Policy, and Market Insight, Rico Wojtulewicz share their views here ⬇️ builders.org.uk/will-labour-be…
The next Labour government with @Keir_Starmer as Prime Minister will reform our planning system and release grey belt land for development. So we can build affordable homes, boost public services and improve green spaces.
A smarter approach to the release of green belt land is essential to building the homes our country needs. Labour will prioritise the development of low-quality ‘grey belt’ sites and impose ‘golden rules’ to ensure it always meets local housing need. thetimes.co.uk/article/0fb2b9…
Same goes for, Feargal! Housebuilding has said this for years but people like Feargal won't talk to us, or support us to help farmers (@NFUtweets). They just think punishments & pointing fingers will solve things! It won't! We need to work together & put our egos to one side!

This week, the National Federation of Builders hosted members in the Houses of Parliament for an exclusive reception to discuss skills. We highlighted the need for quality support and improving access to training and talent within the construction industry.
Let’s be clear, Corbyn backed more housing and stronger greenbelt protection. Totally contradictory. And if you think you can create jobs without land, particularly on the greenbelt, I have a bridge to sell you. #peston
Climate, education, health, rights, jobs and wages are all reasons for young people to vote Tory. However, all the above is broadly improved or enabled by having access to stable housing and @Conservatives have let us down incredibly, and it eclipses any positives. #Peston
Flynn is the politician sort we need to escape. Everything is identity politics and nothing is policy. Tories have failed on many fronts, sure but he’s as interested in rectifying that as he is about Scotland betterment. It’s truly depressing. #Peston
Today I met two ministers, one a shadow minister, and felt very positive that they understood which ducks needed to be in which row, and why that mattered. I also have to congratulate @NewStatesman/@NHBC for their knowledge and ability to progress a conversation. Superb event.
Great to talk to construction businesses and industry groups about how Labour's Skills England will support our target to build 1.5 million new homes over five years - delivering the planners, site managers and skilled tradesmen that we need. @NHBC

@Jochurchill_MP @NHBC It was great to be part of this discussion, full of lots of ideas on how to develop skills and create the workforce of the future - something that we have a big focus on @thehousingforum.
Developing skills for workers of all ages & encouraging new talent is vital for the housebuilding industry's future. We had a lively discussion of industry representatives & the @NHBC at a roundtable last week to discuss how we can promote this career path.
@shortthought @CamillaTominey @BBCPolitics And finally what about the costs (and benefits!) of phasing things. Making Britain less energy reliant on overseas oil and gas has to be a win as we know, with how our market is structured, we are at massive risk currently.
@janrosenow @CarbonBrief Are each and every one of the “air-to-air” units so popular in Scandinavia counted as a heat pump? Presumably larger houses have multiple “air to air” units?
Something to note is that the Government's planned Clean Heat Market Mechanism does not cover air to air devices based on most UK households having wet heating systems. This very much seems to be a mistake, given that these are the most favoured units in the mature Scandi market.
People keep saying heat pumps don't work in cold climates. But almost 5 million heat pumps have been installed in Finland, Sweden and Norway (10 million households combined) - countries known for their warm climate. @CarbonBrief carbonbrief.org/guest-post-how…
Villages in England rightly celebrate their historic windmills. We don't necessarily need giant wind farms, each parish could have their own community owned turbine, producing income for good causes and a source of civic pride.
Your periodic reminder that England, a windswept nation with more potential for onshore wind power than almost anywhere else in the world (other than Scotland), banned new onshore wind farms in 2017.
