How do we deliver sustainable communities in a changing climate?

Nick Harrison: We, the English, love talking about the weather, so with this April giving us more clear signs that our climate is changing, it’s not only a hot topic of conversation but also making me wonder if climate change might actually be quite good news (for my suntan at least).

Are we heading in the right direction?

Angus Wilson: Recently there’s been a flurry of satellite navigation stories about lorry drivers getting wedged into narrow lanes and cars stuck in a full-flowing ford. I heard a suggestion that ‘deer crossing’ warnings could be shown on sat-nav systems. My local one-way ring road is about to be made bi-directional but, like the M6 Toll Road, it will not appear on my old system.
