This is designed to ‘produce economic growth by reducing red tape and the regulatory burden’ with proposals to allow developers to apply for planning permission direct to the Secretary of State. Or in the words of Griff Rhys- Jones, chairman of Civic Voice ‘giving more power to central government’ at the expense of local decision making. A glorious future for East Battersea’s riverfront? This appears to go against the current Secretary of State’s own policies as he recently decided against ‘calling in’ the One Nine Safer rOute for Cyclists, The Gardener’s Arms (Chatham Elms scheme for review on the and bikes for hirE Road) application to vary the grounds that it had been approved by TfL have consulted on new plans to operating hours of the nursery was Wandsworth Council and it was their provide a safer route for cyclists at the refused but the developers have decision to make.

  • 'Art of a Second Order': the First World War from the British Home Front Perspective
    ‘ART OF A SECOND ORDER’ The First World War From The British Home Front Perspective by RICHENDA M. ROBERTS A Thesis Submitted to The University of Birmingham For The Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Art History, Film and Visual Studies School of Languages, Art History and Music College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham September 2012 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Abstract Little art-historical scholarship has been dedicated to fine art responding to the British home front during the First World War. Within pre-war British society concepts of sexual difference functioned to promote masculine authority. Nevertheless in Britain during wartime enlarged female employment alongside the presence of injured servicemen suggested feminine authority and masculine weakness, thereby temporarily destabilizing pre-war values. Adopting a socio-historical perspective, this thesis argues that artworks engaging with the home front have been largely excluded from art history because of partiality shown towards masculine authority within the matrices of British society. Furthermore, this situation has been supported by the writing of art history, which has, arguably, followed similar premise.
