I'm involved in local housing development and neighbourhood plans. And this question bothers me.
How do we deal with, and keep separate:-
- Run off from fields and agricultural land
- Run off from roads
- Run off from roofs
- Grey water from household washing and appliances (showers, baths, clothes washing, dish washing)
- Foul water from sewage systems
Because each one needs it's own dedicated processing. A few SUDS and a big sewage pipe is not enough.

@0c1a9324 Note here that everything in 55 Tufton St is related. ERG, CRG, GWPF, IEA, NZW, Taxpayers Alliance, and on and on. It's a chaos actor system that generates Think Tanks, APPGs, Lobby groups using the same funding sources and the same players, over and over again.
It wouldn't surprise me if they've automated it and use AI to identify niches to exploit. Like early chapters in Accelerando.
@a0b872c9 It's all smoke and mirrors designed to get front page headlines on the usual right wing rags via endless radio and TV interviews in the run up to Conference.
Actual DfT comment is all hedged around with words like review, inquiry, guidance, speculation.
Don't expect any actual change in the life of this government. But do expect stochastic terrorism and lawbreaking by the chaos actors.

@f1ee7a25 Every time I dig into this stuff, I discover something new.
>In 1840 William Grimble of Albany Street, London, a gin distiller by trade, decided to embark on producing vinegar from spirit left over from his distillery. He went into partnership with another distiller, Sir Felix Booth,
> Ivor Forbes Malcolmson, joined in 1898. Ivor would become head of the business a few years later.
My middle name 'Ivor', my dad's and my son's middle name 'Forbes'.

@f1ee7a25 It gets worse. My Dad's mother was a Malcolmson. They started Beaufoy Grimble distillers in Scotland making Sarsons Vinegar and Booths Gin. It became British Vinegars and The Distillers Company, eventually sold to Nestle and Guinness. My dad was responsible for launching the iconic red-clear Sarsons vinegar bottle.
The entire UK brewing industry did an apprenticeship at Greene King and then inter-married. They're all related or know each other.
@f1ee7a25@1918550a I have a connection there. My maternal grandfather's name was Crossman. Manns was Mann, Crossman and Paulin. Sir Peter Crossman was chairman of Manns at the merger with Watney, Coombe and Reid and became chairman of the Watney-Mann group till they were sold to Grand Met.
I believe he was responsible for developing Red Barrel as a brand in the 60s.
@43d7c4ea The EU problem for Labour for a long time was that
1) The majority of Labour voters were pro-EU
2) The majority of Labour constituencies were pro-Brexit
That's no longer true.
I had Momentum insiders tell me they couldn't possibly come out and be anti-Brexit because it would destroy them in the Labour Heartlands. That wasn't true even then. But they believed it.
@603773e5
I want you to go to the window. I want you to open that window. I want you to fill your lungs. I want you to yell out that window, as loud as you possibly can. I want you to shout out.
I'M MAD AS HELL AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANY MORE.
And then I want you to just not take it any more.
