United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

"these construction companies aren't doing a very good job at gardening, we need to add more requirements and rely on then even more for the solution"
Lol.
Maybe you oughtta put requirements on property owners to have a certain amount of trees per acre? Pretty sure they wouldn't hire roofers or electricians to take care of said trees, and you'd end up with a lot more gardeners doing the gardening... Just a thought :)
This, I think is actually a good idea. Property developers frequently sling the trees in, which have been required by building regs, with zero consideration as to whether they will actually survive.
If they become financially liable for their survival, they are likely to take a lot more care over soil prep and initial planting, to minimise long term costs.
