    I don’t know anything about planning / building, but does the planning office not inspect sites periodically to make sure the plans are being followed?

      Well

      only one in 10 council planning departments are fully staffed, with 13% operating with fewer than three-quarters of posts filled

      with

      80% [of local authorities] reporting they did not have enough officers to carry out their workload

      because

      long-term cuts to funding have had a visible impact on planning departments’ ability to retain staff… there has been a 43% fall in resources to the planning system from local authorities since 2009-10.

        Honest to god. Every time the curtain is peeled back on any aspect of our country, the damage that has been done since 2010 makes me reel.

General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
