Build Baby Build (Near Train Stations)

Plus how do the public feel about R&D? And why is government use of data so bad?

On The Abundance Agenda this week:

  • Martin digs into fascinating new public opinion research from CaSE about attitudes towards research and development.

  • James looks at newly announced planning changes to make it easier to build near train stations – and why the government wants to stop theatres from vetoing development.

  • And we speak to Fabian Chessell from the DATA Alliance about why the government needs to get better at sharing data… with itself.

Martin’s fantastic video on the HS2 ‘Bridge to Nowhere’ is here, and his newsletter is here.

James’s piece on why he’s worried about who follows Starmer is here.

Tym’s piece on self-driving cars is here.

Morgan Wild on municipal bond markets is here.
