The design, installation and maintenance of pedestrian crossings are matters for local highway authorities, in this case Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council. They have powers to establish pedestrian crossings on their roads, under section 23 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984. Pedestrian crossings do not require planning permission but the local authority need to work with those requesting such a crossing to ensure an appropriate way forward is found.<\/p>

<\/p>

Local authorities are free to make their own decisions about the design of the streets under their care, provided they take account of the relevant legislation. It would be inappropriate for the Government to seek to intervene in the process of local democratic accountability.<\/p>

Two beehives were installed on the rooftops of Nobel House on 3 November 2014. Honey production is dependent on the season\u2019s weather conditions. Generally a single hive can be expected to produce a minimum of 25 kg of honey per year. As we are entering the winter period, the Nobel House beehives will not produce honey until summer 2015.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

The beehives are managed by a skilled bee farmer, who is a member of the Bee Farmers\u2019 Association. He is aided by an apprentice, who is part of the Defra co-funded Beekeeping Apprenticeship scheme.<\/p>

The UK lobbies countries that are not signatories of the 1980 Hague Convention to sign it. Cases involving non-Hague convention signatories are much harder to resolve and parents often face lengthy and expensive court proceedings abroad to try to facilitate their return.<\/p>
