SUCCESS! At last, acknowlegement of the cumulative impact of additional traffic generated in part by lack of public transport and lack of investment in road infrastucture at a County level.

Councillors heard there were 105 objections to the plans from residents living near Stanton.

The Prime Minister has appointed a yet another unelected minister, this time it’s prolific hunting advocate Robbie Douglas Miller who owns a grouse farm in Scotland.

In 2021 he was on the board of a fishery that applied for a licence to kill seals and last year obtained a licence to kill wild cormorants and sawbill ducks.

Caroline Lucas MP had this to saw -

“This appears to be a wholly inappropriate appointment, which is something we’ve come to expect from Rishi Sunak. An unelected wealthy landowner who has restricted public access to nature, and supported shooting at protected birds, is not someone I’d trust to prioritise animal protection, improve nature access and urgently restore our natural environment.

There are many questions to be answered. What will his responsibilities within the department be, and why do we still not know a whole four days after his appointment? Did the government consider his potential conflicts of interest before giving him the job? And why, when Rishi Sunak has 349 other MPs to choose for the job, does he opt for an unelected landowner?”

Robbie Douglas-Miller, who was made a baron last week, had complained about impact on salmon stocks
