Design for parking in new build developments

Parked 3Here's a new resource that should help tidy up our streets and possibly even make neighbourhood street play more commonplace:

'Space To Park is a user-generated resource of best practice for those seeking parking solutions in new build residential development. This website showcases a series of developments and sets up a constructive discussion about what works and where, from the point of view of users, designers and other experts.'

So where's 'big society' when it's really needed? I fear this letter from Keith Flett in today's Independent, referring to the politics of the recent floods in England, is too easily overlooked and it really deserves not to be: A government that promotes austerity measures and claims that Big Society volunteers and the private sector will pick up what the public service can no longer do was always likely to end in a bad place, and now it has. While people in a number of areas are suffering from flooding, it is clear that cuts to the Environment Agency’s budget and staffing have made a difficult situation worse. No doubt some volunteers are helping in flood work, but there are limits. Dredging rivers and saving life and limb are jobs for professionals, and they are to be found in the public sector. After weeks of flooding in Somerset, there has been no evidence of volunteer or private sector dredging operations. Rather, it is the Army who are called into help. It is probably too much to hope that the ideologues of the present government will take the point, but one suspects that voters will. Keith Flett, London N17

First they came First they came for the benefits, and I did not speak out, because I was not on benefits. Then they came for the care services, and I did not speak out, because I was not in care. Then they came for the pensions and the squatters and the spare rooms, and I did not speak out, because I have my own home and some savings. Then they came for legal aid, and I did not speak out, because I have not yet been arrested and accused. Then they came for the teachers, and the nurses, and the social workers, and the health visitors, and the librarians, and the probation workers, and the firefighters, and the environmental experts, and there was no-one left to support me.
