James Sunderland recounts his experiences in Bosnia and welcomes the current suspension of Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik’s separatist plans for Republika Srpska.

James Sunderland raises concerns about rampant house building in east Berkshire and seeks assurances that the new Planning Bill will protect local assets such as farmland, school playing fields, golf courses, open spaces and the Pinewood Centre in Crowthorne.
