Residents near the proposed 2,400-acre West Oxfordshire Energy Plant (WOEP) have expressed shock, anger, and anxiety over the scale of the solar farm development. Developer Low Carbon plans to produce 500MW of electricity, with a public consultation expected next year and a planning application targeted for late 2027.

A public consultation has begun regarding Westmorland and Furness Council's plans to replace a complicated double mini-roundabout at Sandgate in Penrith. While local residents and pedestrians have reported crashes, near misses, and confusion due to poor signage and layout, opinions are mixed, with some motorists defending the current setup.
Campaigners, including the NSPCC and Save the Children, have accused Northern Ireland Education Minister Paul Givan of attempting to undermine the Holiday Meals Payment Bill by proposing amendments that would give him discretion over when payments take effect. The DUP minister has argued that the proposed legislation would cost his department £20m a year at a time of severe budget constraints. The bill, brought forward by Sinn Féin's Danny Baker, aims to provide financial support for food to families whose children receive free school meals during school holidays.
