British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is moving to harden security for his residence in Kirby Sigston, a village in North Yorkshire. The move follows reports that he is preparing measures related to demonstrations by Greenpeace activists near his property earlier in August, as cited by a national publication. [Daily Mail]
The central plan involves installing a wooden barrier around the estate. The proposed fence would extend about 50 meters in length and stand roughly 1.2 meters tall, according to documents put forward to the local council. The stated aim is to deter trespass while preserving access for legitimate visitors and service personnel. [Daily Mail]
In the council submission, the fence is described as providing a simple visual and concealed obstacle to unauthorized entry at residential properties. The request urges the council to respond quickly, noting the straightforward nature of the proposal and the conditions on the site. [Daily Mail]
In other political commentary, the coverage includes remarks about the climate debate, highlighting praise for some and critique of Sunak’s stance on listening to climate advocates. The discussion reflects ongoing tensions around environmental policy and public protest, set against the backdrop of high-profile leadership. [Daily Mail]
