Telford man fined £1,000 for failing to clear illegal waste site
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-26)

A Telford man has been ordered to pay £1,000 for failing to clear an illegal waste site following a prosecution by the Environment Agency.

- Environment Agency investigation leads to prosecution
- Defendant stored waste without necessary environmental permit
- Sentencing hearing at Telford Magistrates Court on Monday 11 August 2025
At Telford Magistrates Court on 11 August 2025, Brian Woods, 70, of Limekiln Bank, St Georges, Telford, pleaded guilty to failing to comply with a court order to clear waste from a site on Granville Road, Donnington Wood.

He had previously admitted, at a hearing on 16 June 2025, to running a waste operation without a permit, contrary to Environmental Permitting Regulations.

For that offence, he received a 12-month community order to do 100 hours of unpaid work. He was also ordered to pay £1,470 in costs and £114 victim’s surcharge.

The case started in August 2019 when Woods admitted to storing waste on the site between December 2016 and April 2017 without an environmental permit.

The case was adjourned on condition that Woods removed all the waste from the site by July 26 2020. He was also ordered not to bring any additional waste onto the site.

Between July 2020 and June 2024, Environment Agency officers made several checks on the site to find that the waste had not been removed.

Woods on a number of occasions did not attend scheduled meetings. He cited ill health or medical appointments as the reason.

The defendant said in mitigation that following the collapse of his business he was not in a financial position to clear the site of waste.

It was said some 75% of the waste had now been removed.

A spokesperson for the Environment Agency said:

The Environment Agency will pursue any person or company that fails to uphold the law to protect nature and will continue to press for the strongest possible penalties.

Failure to comply with these legal requirements is a serious offence that can damage the environment and harm human health.

If anyone has environmental concerns they should call our 24/7 hotline on xx-xxxx-xxxx or Crimestoppers anonymously and in confidence on xx-xxxx-xxxx.

The Charges:

Brian Anthony Woods between 27 July 2020 and 26 April 2024, at The Old Granville, Granville Road, Donnington Wood, Telford, did operate a regulated facility, namely a waste operation for the storage of waste, except under and to the extent authorised by an environmental permit contrary to Regulations 12 and 38(1)(a) Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2016.

On 27 July 2020 and continuing, Brian Anthony Woods disobeyed the order of Telford Magistrates Court dated 27 January 2020 made under Regulation 44 of the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2016 in that he failed to remove all waste from the site at The Old Granville, Granville Road, Donnington Wood, Telford, on or before 26th July 2020.
Disabled people's employment in the UK: a thematic review of the literature
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-16)

A qualitative literature review that explores the lived experiences of disabled people in the UK regarding employment.

This research was commissioned under the previous government and therefore does not necessarily reflect the policies of the current government. The views expressed are the authors’ and do not necessarily reflect those of the government.

The aim of this report is to better understand disabled people’s experiences of employment in the UK.

It builds on the findings from the systematic literature review (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-lived-experience-of-disabled-people-in-the-uk-a-review-of-evidence) conducted by the Centre for Disability Studies at the University of Leeds, and Disability Rights UK.

The report’s findings show that:
- disabled people face barriers in every aspect of employment and negative perceptions about impairment impact the hiring and retention of disabled people
- the most prominent type of discrimination is ‘systemic discrimination’ – this indicates that barriers to work arise more from barriers in society than from people and their impairments
- people’s experiences at work can significantly affect their general well-being and feelings of belonging in wider society

The Armed Forces Covenant

An enduring covenant between the people of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their families

The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm.

In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.

Section 1: Principles of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant

1.1 We Ocean Winds UK will endeavour in our business dealings to uphold the key principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, which are:
- no member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen;

Prime Minister to meet President Trump for wide ranging talks in Scotland
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-27)

The Prime Minister will travel to Scotland today to meet the President for talks.

- The Prime Minister will travel to Scotland today to meet the President for talks on his golf course in Turnberry
- The leaders are expected to discuss progress on implementing the UK-US trade deal, hopes for a ceasefire in the Middle East and applying pressure on Putin to end the war in Ukraine
- The leaders will travel on together for a further private engagement in Aberdeen
The strength of the UK-US relationship will be on display again today (Monday 28 July) as the Prime Minister meets US President Donald Trump in Scotland for wide-ranging talks.

The Prime Minister will travel to the President’s golf course in Turnberry during the course of his private visit, ahead of the President’s landmark second State Visit to the UK in September.

Over the course of the visit, the leaders are expected to talk one-on-one about advancing implementation of the landmark Economic Prosperity Deal so that Brits and Americans can benefit from boosted trade links between their two countries.

The Prime Minister is also expected to welcome the President’s administration working with partners in Qatar and Egypt to bring about a ceasefire in Gaza. He will discuss further with him what more can be done to secure the ceasefire urgently, bring an end to the unspeakable suffering and starvation in Gaza and free the hostages who have been held so cruelly for so long.

Securing peace in Ukraine will also be high on the agenda, with the Prime Minister and President set to talk about their shared desire to bring an end to the barbaric war. It is expected they will reflect on progress in their 50-day drive to arm Ukraine and force Putin to the negotiating table.

After their meeting they will travel on together to a private engagement in Aberdeen.

The UK and the US have one of the closest, most productive alliances the world has ever seen, working together to cooperate on defence, intelligence, technology and trade.

The UK was the first country to agree a deal with the US that lowered tariffs on key sectors and has received one of the lowest reciprocal tariff rates in the world.

Businesses in the aerospace and autos sectors are already benefitting from the strong relationship the UK has with the US and the deal agreed on 8 May.

The Government is working at pace with the US to go further to deliver benefits to working people on both sides of the Atlantic and to give UK industry the security it needs, protect vital jobs, and put more money in people’s pockets through the Plan for Change.

We, the undersigned, commit to honour the Armed Forces Covenant and support the Armed Forces Community. We recognise the value Serving Personnel, both Regular and Reservists, Veterans and military families contribute to our business and our country.

The Armed Forces Covenant

An enduring covenant between the people of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their families

The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.

Letter to Church of England Diocesan Bishops
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-03)

CEO David Holdsworth has written to Diocesan Bishops who are also trustees of Church charities to seek further information on Church safeguarding processes.

As regulator of charities in England and Wales, the Charity Commission is engaging with certain National Church Institutions regarding safeguarding in Church charities following the recent publication of the Makin Review.

This letter to bishops, sent on 31 January 2025, seeks their assessment of whether any aspects of Church law, structure or processes are currently preventing trustees of Church charities from fulfilling their safeguarding obligations. The letter follows a letter sent to Members of the General Synod who are also trustees of Church charities on 24 January 2025.

A press release with more information about the Commission’s engagement can be found via this link: Regulator sets out safeguarding expectations ahead of key Synod votes - GOV.UK (https://www.gov.uk/government/news/regulator-sets-out-safeguarding-expectations-ahead-of-key-synod-votes)
