The Dutch Ministry of Defence confirmed that Washington withdrew from the AWACS replacement effort in July, prompting the Netherlands and several European partners to abandon the joint plan.

Interesting one. My Council have a Public Space Protection Order in place which asserts that this gives them the right to close Public Footpaths, which are Rights of Way. Concerning. PSPOs are always… (View Post)2
