How to step down from the Presidency.

New Towns and exiting times. I’m reminded of how a nation recovering from war reacted to the New Towns Act 1946. Although Stevenage was effectively extended as opposed to born into existence, it’s worth remembering that no matter the times, no matter the scale of ambition and determination, opposition was always there. You can see the locals giving the planning minister a piece of their mind. Yet as the TCPA website notes the “New Towns programme, with its three phases between 1946 and 1970, was the most ambitious town building programme ever undertaken in the United Kingdom. Alongside legislation in Scotland and Northern Ireland, the New Towns Act 1946 led to the delivery of 32 New Towns across the UK. These towns are now home to around 2.8 million people.” Could we aspire to such ambition now? Well, what we know is that there will be opposition and resistance. And that’s not necessarily a bad thing, for a healthy democracy there also needs to be a healthy opposition. But the scale of ambition must also match the moment. Enjoy this Pathe clip.

GOOD NEWS FOR THE REGION

The North America's Building Trades Unions have officially endorsed Joe Biden in this year's US Presidential Election. NABTU President Sean McGarvey commended his administration's pro-labour policies and infrastructure investments which are creating jobs for Building Trades members. McGarvey also slammed Donald Trump for his endless broken promises made to skilled trades unions across the US. The BTA knows that working Albertans benefit from stability in the US. This helps our province maintain strong economic partnerships across the border which generates growth in our industry. Donald Trump has shown he has no interest in building stable economic relationships or creating good-paying union jobs. Instead, he is trying to throw the democracy of our country's closest ally into disarray for his own benefit. We as unions are democracies. Our members elect the leadership of their union through a fair and democratic process. This ensures that our leaders remain accountable to the workers they represent. As such, we recognize the dangers of politicians who deliberately undermine democracy. The BTA is proud to stand with NABTU and all of our fellow Building Trades unions across North America as we work to grow the unionized skilled trades. We support NABTU in this endorsement. #buildingtradesofalberta #skilledtrades #UnionStrong #uselections2024

With just a week to go before the UK General Election, Steve Preston speaks to the BMF's Government Relations Executive Officer, Paul Morgan about the BMF/NMC's new manifesto. Motorcycling has often been overlooked by Ministers and officials when developing wider transport policy. The vision and priorities we have set out with our NMC partners in the Manifesto seek to change that and to place motorcycling front and centre of a sustainable future UK transport system. We want the future Government to unleash the potential of the motorcycling sector to fully realise the benefits that motorcycling can bring to UK society as an accessible, affordable, and greener form of transport. We have a real opportunity in the pre-election period and beyond to completely reshape the future narrative around motorcycling. https://lnkd.in/ePGzBX6p
