This one mildly surprised me — possibly even more so than NIMBYs blocking solar farms and Green MPs opposing green infrastructure in their constituencies — given the industrial presence in Pembs that locals are pretty enthusiastic about. Our culture of Citizens Against Virtually Everything (CAVE) appears pretty pervasive though, and I really hope it’s something we’ll see tackled through this Parliamentary period.
I hope DARC gets rammed through regardless of such opposition, that we massively revamp the Town and Country Planning Act and Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act, and that we become gradually more comfortable as a country with actually building and doing stuff from time to time.
