martin<p>Hurrah! My petition on extending FoI to RSLs is live. This may seem like detail, but that's where you get them. Extending FoI (and proper FoI rather than some weak new scheme) will help residents get the information they need:</p><p><a href="https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/701088" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">petition.parliament.uk/petitio</span><span class="invisible">ns/701088</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/UKPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UKPol</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/UKHousing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UKHousing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/SocialHousing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SocialHousing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/FoI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FoI</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.me.uk/tags/FOIA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FOIA</span></a></p>
