section of the website, I say what I think about
various issues. Don't take them as "official" Liberal

highway permission is required if porous materials are
not used or drainage onto the owners property is not
provided. What else is planning permission required for?

Opt out of Royal Mail Direct Mail
Are you fed up with unaddressed leaflets from the
Royal Mail being pushed through your door? Not everyone
is, some like it, but why should those who don't want it,
have to put up with it? Actually, anyone can opt out.
It's just a pity we aren't asked to opt in.
Opt out of Direct Mail
Are you fed up with addressed junk mail being sent
to your home. Again, we ought be able to opt in if we
really want it, but in the meantime we have to opt out.
Register with Mailing Preference Service.
We can Stop Unwanted
Phone Calls
All you have
to do is register, sit back, and
after a couple of months you never get bothered by
legitimate companies again (...just when you're having an
evening meal). Works for me. .... Then you get bored and
suddenly realise no one wants to talk to you !
