					<description><![CDATA[Given the catastrophic damage a terrorist attack on a building could cause, few would argue against the need for counter-terrorist measures… The City of London addressed the issue the IRA bombings in the 1990s with its ‘ring of steel’ but now the threat is seen to be greater, affecting a wider range of places. However, [&#8230;]]]></description>

HACAN, the campaign group representing residents under the Heathrow flight path has called for a Day of Silence to be held each year on the anniversary of the volcano’s eruption to celebrate the benefits of peace [&#8230;]]]></description>

The newly launched Civic Voice charity seems to have hit the ground running with a re-found energy to get communities involved in improving and preserving local areas.

A giant equine monument will be trotting towards the north Kent skyline after plans for a 50 metre high sculpture were approved. Gravesham Council’s regulatory board has approved the application for the 50m tall landmark, which will overlook the A2 from the [&#8230;]]]></description>

Then there are the numerous consultations by local authorities, the police and the NHS.

According to a piece in today’s Independent Bertrand Delanoe wants to create a permanent &#8216;Paris Plage&#8217; that would see two-lane urban motorways partially abandoned and replaced by parks, foot and cycle [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been dubbed the social media election (at least twice). Labour&#8217;s manifesto was launched by a blogger, and @GrantShapps has found the time to write his personal guide to Twitter. Political parties of all persuasions are desperate to prove their soshalmeeja credentials. But who&#8217;s really winning the battle for the internet?
