Architects meet on Bristol sustainability agenda

Fifty key experts and decision makers are joining forces for Bristol Hothouse, a built-environment forum to share ideas and solutions for a low-carbon Bristol, at Watershed on June 3.
Bristol Hothouse is presented jointly by CABE, Bristol City Council, the Architecture Centre and RIBA. Forming part of the CABE-led ‘sustainable cities’ programme, the half-day of interactive workshops provides an opportunity for delegates to debate and share ideas to develop robust, design-led, city-wide resolutions and accelerate the pace of change.

And you think you’ve got problems

Political blogger Guido Fawkes has latched on to a bit of old-fashioned investigative journalism in The Guardian. Apparently, the Labour Party must repay £7.45 million of its loans within five weeks - and NEC members have been warned by their lawyers that they could be personally liable if this great institution defaults on its debts. Total borrowings, including interest, are thought to be £25 million. A warning that some of Guido’s respondents are rather intemperate in their use of language.

Are personal carbon accounts a goer?
May 28, 2008
John Redwood thinks not … and his respondents for the most part agree. Even if it was a cracking idea, it seems politically toxic now. Will ID cards suffer the same fate?

Expensive mistake
May 27, 2008
The disconnect between the public and its elected representatives continues with the news this morning that MPs are considering doing away with the need to provide any receipts at all when claiming expenses in respect of second homes. The Members Estimate Committee is apparently considering awarding a lump sum of £23,000 as an automatic grant to MPs each year instead.
MPs completely misunderstand the public mood if they think that this will wash. They need to move towards greater transparency and accountability, not further away. It may be poor judgement on the part of some MPs to think that reasonable expenses should include thousands for sprucing up the garden or installing a mock-Tudor gable but it is sheer madness to think that their best option now is to seek to hide future expenses entirely.
