Fair play and solid principles should not be forgotten

Article Abstract:

The UK Nolan Committee has examined UK public life and standards of conduct. The committee has examined local government in the UK in a study that includes issues related to city and rural planning. Users and taxpayers' interests should be protected when services are funded from taxes, the report argues. Local bodies should have autonomy when they receive funds from central government. Planning decisions can be affected by material and ideological considerations, and difficult issues include the granting of planning permission by local government for its own activities.

A new society for transport planners?

Article Abstract:

A Transport Planning Forum has met in the UK, organized by London Transport's David Bayliss, Local Transport Today's Richard Stonham, and Richard Cuthbert from WS Atkins. The organisers argue that there is a need for a professional framework for transport planners, who come from a range of backgrounds. An independent institute could bring planners together but there is also the need for them to retain intellectual roots, and a new independent body may not be useful for achieving this.
