An important issue. My thoughts 🧵
1. Pay matters. It is a labour market after all.
2. So does feeling valued more generally. Why for example don’t local authorities pay planners’ professional subscriptions? That hardly says we value your professional experience and competence
Reading @RTPIPlanners @ThePlanner_RTPI and can't help that we fail to ask the questions.
1. Are planners leaving the profession? 2. If so, who, when and why? 3.
We need to focus on retention too. The skills gap is generally at senior planner level.

Looks like we will be getting the local government finance settlement today. As with last year it's being dealt with by a written statement, not an oral statement which would have allowed MPs to ask questions
This map is great! I remember hearing how 'A' roads worked from my year 6 teacher, and this demonstrates it so well
All A roads and motorways in Great Britain, in order, for today's #30DayMapChallenge remix finale 🎶
My favourite (but also nemesis) is the A9 but I'm also quite fond of the A66, A82, and the A858, if we're sharing our deepest secrets - yeah the A830 isn't too bad either!

A great thread on employment changes and challenges as organisations respond to the current climate. These are happening now, and employees are already moving
Over the last two months I’ve spoken to 10 x Billion $ companies about their plans for return to office, hybrid, and remote work
A few predictions on what most companies will do in 2022

This, this, a 1000 times this. Funding formulae used by central government for local government are years out of date, and it's getting worse every year of inaction. #fairFunding
My piece on state of local govt finance for @thetimes free to view ifs.org.uk/publications/1570…
Extraordinary that funding is still based on 2013 population levels and composition. Allocations are becoming increasingly unrelated to need.
My favourite #LocalElections2021 tweet so far! Don't forget to #vote. Have a good day all. Thanks to all those running the polling stations and counts this year :)

Individuals, organisations and governments can communicate directly now more easily. They usually put their own spin on any announcement. Balance is lost. Previously we heard news from journalists who tried to hear and understand more than one perspective. I miss that

Grim reading, but much truth. So much good in local government, but also so much potential being carved away day-by-day, all across the country, as Councils can't fund the services they know their residents need in order to thrive and survive
Grim. And it goes much deeper I fear. Many local authorities have cut so brutally, as they are legally required to, that they do less and less innovative. In the short term, that's efficient. In the long term, it's a dead end. And huge retirements at the top to balance the books.

Really interesting & important perspective. I think it's right to support business at this time. It's also right to support the poor all the time
