In this week's News Update, we look at the latest ONS figures as the construction industry recovery peters out, and bring you an update on the mandatory CE marking of construction products. There's also an opportunity for BWF members to meet DCLG officials amid concerns over whether the Localism Bill will stimulate community-led developments, or become a 'Nimbys' Charter'.
We also have information on a potentially radical overhaul of parental leave arrangements, the Wood Window Alliance are on TV, and there's a new time limit on payment in the government supply chain. Look out for the latest edition of Join In next week, and don't forget to log-on and log-in to our website to get all the news you may have missed.
Best regards, Richard Lambert Chief Executive
