🚨UPDATE: We're delighted that 71 Whitney Drive in Stevenage has just been designated Grade II following C20's listing application, saving the house from a consented demolition.
Designed in 1966 by Derrick Shorten as his family home, Shorten was also project architect on the listed Coventry Railway Station (1962).
🚨 C20 is concerned to learn that planning permission has been granted to demolish 17 Whitney Drive in Stevenage, Hertfordshire.
Designed in 1966 by Derrick Shorten as his own family home, Shorten was also project architect on Coventry Railway Station (1962), now Grade II listed.

The first fin whale has been killed by The Kangei Maru.
Kyodo Senpaku, the Japanese whaling company, has announced the capture of a male fin whale, 19.6 m long and weighing 55 tonnes, off Iwate Prefecture, Japan.
Japan announced a quota of 59 fin whales this week.

"River Hamble contains e-coli and sewage, warn police."
So the police have now become responsible for doing the @EnvAgency's job for them.
No doubt because the EA's CEO is too busy investing £37 million of the pension funds money in England's water companies.

This is a war on the world’s remaining wildlife . . . if we don’t address this sort of savagery we will lose everything . Why is the world’s media ignoring this ? Why are the world’s governments ignoring this ? We have to act . Now . @NeptunesPirates
A first look at the inside of Kangei Maru, the world’s largest whaling mothership where Japan has just slaughtered their first fin whale in half a century.

United Utilities slammed after dumping 250,000 hours of raw sewage spills in 2023.
A reminder that the @EnvAgency have just given @unitedutilities their maximum rating of four stars for environmental performance.

NEWS // The Library (1965-70) and Pollen Wing (1970-75) at Downside Abbey in Somerset have been listed at Grade II and II* respectively, following an application by C20.
Designed by Francis Pollen, the buildings combine refences to Edwin Lutyens in limestone ashlar and bush hammered concrete, with the spectacular geometric volumes of the glazed octagonal reading room.
The recent departure of the last monks from Downside leaves the monastic buildings without a function, and the Downside Abbey General Trust is in the process of creating a future strategy for the site.

This is a lay-by next to East Midlands airport. Could be anywhere in Britain. We really have become a nation of lazy, selfish, ignorant and anti-social slobs…or 20 million of us have at least.

It was a massive issue at the general election and now it's the very first question asked of a new Prime Minister, of a new government, in a new parliament.
"Scrapping @Ofwat".
Sounds like a bloody good idea to me.

These works were exhibited at WCPF23 with The Centre for Print Research in their Cabinet of Curiosities. The wooden cabinet showcased a range of original prints made using cutting edge techniques, from a wearable book and an unfolding almanac to etchings of mycelial growth.

Yes, you read that correctly.
@Thameswater has been dumping sewage into the River Misbourne, a chalk stream, for 5,000 hours so far this year.
And there's still five and a half months of 2024 left.
Heading towards 5000 hours of discharge for 2024 alone. This EDM was only been operational since late 2023 and has almost been discharging 100% of the time since commissioning. @thameswater

Reposting this shocker of a story now all water companies in England and Wales are being investigated for poor poop management.
Dirty secret: insiders say UK water firms knowingly break sewage laws...
...and reveal exactly how it's done on site.
