A great meeting of the Advisory Board yesterday afternoon to discuss the issues facing the sector. We discussed the recent correspondence to Dominic Raab and how we continue to raise the profile of restorative justice principles within Parliament.

Yesterday our local government team were hard at work in Newcastle as part of our community engagement strategy. By utilising a wide range of communication methods we look to make sure that everyone in a community has the chance to influence developments in their area.

Today the House sat with questions to @luhc ministers. CalComms was pleased to see Secretary of State Michael Gove acknowledge the housing shortage, as well as his calls for local government and other partners to help deliver homes and increase supply. #Planning #Development

As the Group Secretariat to the Canzuk APPG, we are pleased to see Britain joining the #CANZUK nations in the #CPTPP. We hope this increased economic collaboration between our 4 nations will provide the basis of a future multilateral economic pact, a key aim of the APPG.

Michael Gove's very own local council (Surrey Heath Borough Council Borough Council) has confirmed that its local plan will be delayed by 10 months as a result of the government’s proposed changes to national #planningpolicy. Publication of its pre-submission LP is now due between Nov23/Jan24

This weekend the APPG is visiting the safe standing section at VfL Wolfsburg EN/US 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 stadium. We look forward to experiencing this first-hand and hope this marks the beginning of further parliamentary interest in safe standing! #SafeStanding #Wolfsburg

The CalComms team were truly delighted to visit the VfL Wolfsburg EN/US 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 Volkswagen Arena and witness a leading example of what #SafeStanding can be. We are excited to continue to make a case for #SafeStanding to Parliamentarians across the UK!

Last week at the second reading of the Offenders (Day of Release from Detention) Bill in the House of Lords Jenny Jones raised the issue of Restorative Justice and the value it has in delivering real change to both victims and offenders #RJ #RP

As expected on the eve of a local election, today's PMQs were a hot-blooded affair dominated by local issues Centre of debate were the two leader's opposing views on housing, with both trying to differentiate their views Rishi Sunak attacked Sir Keir on his 'top-down targets'

It was great to host a meeting of the Bees and Pollinators Advisory Board this morning! Delighted to be joined by our members to discuss the most pressing issues facing pollinators and how we can help promote their cause! 🐝🐝🐝

The CANZUK APPG is extremely pleased to hear that the Liberal Party of Canada, headed by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, has officially endorsed #CANZUK at its 2023 policy convention. 🙌🇨🇦🇦🇺🇳🇿🇬🇧🙌

Wonderful news for the #CANZUK movement in #Canada, as both parties officially endorse the movement. As the Group Secretariat to Canzuk APPG, we look forward to continuing to promote the alliance in our own #Parliament and raise awareness abroad in 🇨🇦🇦🇺🇳🇿

CalComms agrees with @luhc Secretary Michael Gove's admissions that "There simply aren't enough houses in this country." We welcome the Minister's reassurances that the Government were "absolutely committed to more houses being built." 🏘️🏘️

It was great to host a meeting of the APPG Advisory Board meeting. We're focused on addressing the Victims and Prisoners Bill and its crucial omission of a commitment to restorative justice. #RJ #RP #victimsbill

Today at the Victims and Prisoners Bill Committee, Chair of the APPG Elliot Colburn raised the importance of Restorative Justice. At the session, he emphasised the need for this amendment within potential legislation, which would improve access and awareness to RJ for victims.

The APPG welcomed comments from Janet Daby MP at yesterday's Victims and Prisoners Bill Committee debate. It is vital that the scope of RJ is known in all sectors, including Prisons, Courts and in Education. #RestorativeJustice #RestorativePractice #VictimsBill

CalComms is delighted to sponsor this year’s Northern Fashion Week at Manchester Central. An important cultural and economic event that brings together the region’s best and most creative designers, and proof that Levelling-Up needs to work. ilovemanchester.com/northern-fashi…

An insightful article into the cost that NIMBYism imposes on the British economy. The standout statistic that HS2 will, if completed, cost £396mn for each mile of track should be enough to prompt a change in planning policy.
