"UK PLC losing out by under-using enterprising women" - says West Midlands Lib Dem MP

Commenting on today's Equal Opportunities Commission report into the under-representation of women in Parliament and company boardrooms, Liberal Democrat Women and Equalities Spokesperson, Solihull's Lib Dem MP Lorely Burt said: "It is unacceptable in the twenty first century that women are still not playing their full part in some of the country's key decisions. UK plc is losing out by not tapping into the pool of talented and enterprising women. Women are not asking for a head start, but simply the introduction of practical measures to ensure genuine equality of opportunity."

MOTOCROSS near Eaglescliffe

In common with hundreds of other Eaglescliffe residents, I can hear the noise from the motocross track near Eaglescliffe, otherwise known as Riverside Lodge. Dozens of people have complained to the Council that they can no longer enjoy being out of doors while the track is operating on many days of the week over much of the year. The operator says that he "aims to educate people living nearby" and "wants to come to a mutual agreement with residents", but we have still to hear from him.
