HOME BIRTHS AREN'T ALLOWED
After stopping home births "temporarily" the NHS says it won't "allow" them for 6mths - at least. This lack of support for choice is a nationwide problem. Some may wonder - is there a plan to end home birth?

GOV'T TO HAVE MORE CONTROL
Councils may lose the right to refuse larger housing developments - with future decisions being made by the gov't - as for Lime Down solar "farm." Some may be wondering - do we still have a democracy?

START GROWING FOOD NOW!
With a 14yr wait for an allotment - if they're not sold by the council - this business offers a patch of land for growing food, with support - both real-world and online. Early birds can save as well - in Nov only.

WE JUST NEED TO STOP THIS!
Macquarie now owns the proposed Lime Down solar "farm'. This alarms local SMP Roz Savage, but some may ask - does it really matter which huge corporation it is? What about if the People owned the land?

SUPPORT OUR LOCAL ECONOMY
We can all make a difference - not just for Christmas but all the time - by buying locally from small businesses. This small act transforms local communities, local SMP Simon Opher says. Cash is even better!
