Lough Neagh is running green due to huge toxic pollution crisis. @vincekearney is covering the story today for @rtenews. As well as providing 40% of NI drinking water this is also an internationally protected bird sanctuary. 🤬

For many reasons construction methods need to change, but workforce shortage is one of the most compelling
UK construction has a growing age-demographic problem in the UK-born workforce, with the spike in employment in the 50-64 age range, meaning that construction will lose over 500,000 workers (around 1/4 of the workforce) in the next 10-15 years &... #ukconstruction #construction

Well done @Choice_Housing and Aoife.
Housing supply since 2008 averaging 7,000 per year, but needed to have been close to double that. Now we need close to 20,000 per year until 2030 to catch up.
Ambitious target for England to increase housing supply by 50% per annum, while in NI we are planning to deliver significantly fewer homes than required
Housing Minister @KitMalthouse MP spoke at #Housing2019 yesterday in Manchester, outlining how 300,000 homes can be delivered by the mid-2020s if builders embrace high quality design #CIH2019
