Plot 12 approved at appeal. Absolute garbage. Planning inspectors need to be educated in design. Newcastle river frontage deserves better acp.planninginspectorate.gov……. This is a disgrace for Newcastle. @perry_jims @NewcastleCC.

To paraphrase: "If you build it, they will come." Some incredible early results for the new Britannia Leisure Centre, ahead of all projections and such an asset for the community.

Since 2018 we've invested in Hackney's future by building four incredible new public facilities across the borough. Some like Tiger Way are now award winning -all ensure the very best leisure & education buildings. Strong foundations for a Fairer Hackney as we recover from Covid.

Last day on site at the now RIBA National Award Winning DurhamTLC. If only I’d known what was to come over the next year - global pandemic, furlough & redundancy. Will never regret the decisions I made & aim to show future WIC that having a baby shouldn’t be the end of ur success

Last day on site at @durham_uni new Teaching & Learning Centre. It’s been an amazing 3yrs working with a great team incl @burohappold & @gallifordtry. I think the smallest member of the @FaulknerBrowns team was suitably impressed! #womeninconstruction #workingmum #startthemyoung
