Our themes and ideas labs have engaged close to 300 people from over 80 housing associations, generating hundreds of brilliant ideas. Participants worked to develop new concepts in an ideas generation process that continued into the new year.
The document summarizes key announcements from the UK Autumn Budget related to housing and the creation of Homes England. It announces the creation of Homes England as an expanded delivery agency to boost housing supply. It provides £15 billion additional investment to facilitate new home delivery. It also outlines wider industrial strategy and local growth context, and what the budget settlement will enable Homes England to do, including offering direct grants and financial transactions, acquiring and developing land, and investing in joint ventures.
The document summarizes the government's goals to increase housing development in England, particularly affordable housing, and the challenges faced in the South West region. It discusses the government's ambition to build 250,000 homes annually by 2020 using organizations like Housing Associations. It also outlines the Homes and Communities Agency's current tools to promote affordable housing development and recent budget announcements that will support these efforts.
The document summarizes the merger strategies and progress of DCH and Knightstone Housing Association. It discusses that the timing was right for a merger in 2016 due to cultural similarities and compatible growth ambitions. The boards agreed to a heads of terms in June 2017 with the goal of completing the merger by summer 2018. The merger aims to substantially increase affordable home development, transform services, and create a strong resilient organization through beneficial savings and value.
The document discusses the benefits of local authorities setting up local housing companies to develop and acquire affordable housing. It notes that an increasing number of local authorities already have or are considering setting up such companies. The author argues that local housing companies can help address the need for more affordable housing and that every local authority should set one up. The document then provides details about Wokingham Borough Council's experience setting up and operating wholly-owned local housing companies to deliver new affordable homes and generate income.

The document provides an overview and update from the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) regarding housing priorities and allocations in the North West of England. Key points include:
- The HCA has allocated over £273 million and 9,383 new homes in the North West through the 2016-2021 Affordable Homes Programme.
- Allocations include a mix of affordable rent, shared ownership, and rent to buy homes across the subregions of Cheshire and Warrington, Cumbria, Greater Manchester, Lancashire, and Liverpool City Region.
- The HCA is prioritizing contracting and starts for schemes that can deliver new homes in the 2016/2017 financial year to maximize early delivery
The Accelerated Construction (AC) initiative uses two models, the Contractor Model and Equity Model, to build homes on public land faster than the market. The Contractor Model involves the HCA procuring a partner to develop land, with the contractor responsible for planning, building, and selling homes. To mitigate risk, the HCA guarantees to buy unsold homes after 12 months. The Equity Model involves the HCA and contractor investing equity in a joint venture, with profits shared based on equity proportions. AC aims to increase homebuilding pace, diversify builders, and promote modern construction methods. Interested builders can bid to join regional Delivery Partner Panels to access large AC opportunities.
The document discusses the changing business model of social housing providers. It notes that assumptions about rented products, funding models, and rent increases are changing. As a result, providers' business models and financing are becoming more complex, incorporating factors like asset sales, new development, and diversification. The regulator seeks to understand how providers are managing risks in this shifting environment and ensure boards have the capacity to do so, but does not determine business strategies or risk appetite. The role is to assess compliance with regulatory standards and work with providers to remedy issues when concerns arise.
Three WWII 500lbs unexploded ordnances were safely removed from phase two land at Oakington Barracks in Northstowe, UK. Surveys over six weeks located metal anomalies, which were carefully excavated. A six meter deep and tamped explosive ordnance disposal facility was constructed on site over three weeks for the controlled detonation of the ordnances found. The final operation was completed safely within one week with no disruption to the local community.

Archaeological excavations prior to the development of Northstowe, Cambridgeshire uncovered evidence of Roman and Saxon settlements. Remains found at the site included Roman pottery shards, pins, and pots as well as Saxon pottery dating back to the 6th century. The artifacts suggest the area has been continuously occupied for nearly two millennia.
The HCA has agreed a deal which sees its Arena Island site transfer to Bristol City Council on 25 March. This agreement supports the creation of a new 12,000 capacity arena and around 2,700 jobs across Bristol Temple Quarter Enterprise Zone, alongside business space and up to 300 new and affordable homes.

Temple of Asclepius in Thrace. Excavation resultsKrassimira Luka
The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).
THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
