Whilst we were looking to national government for national policy direction, maybe we failed to notice that in fact local councils have been implementing national, even global policy for some time.
Glaring examples are "Climate Emergency", and "15 minute cities", but there is more, a lot more.
I guess we have all noted the vast building programmes for identikit new housing estates on land peripheral to existing conurbations, even to small villages, that seem to have sprung up overnight, to the point where conurbations are now merging into megurbations across large tracts of what was formerly countryside.
Did we ask for this?
No, it's not accidental coincidence, it's national policy facilitated by national government, dictated globally but implemented locally.
