[x] On /sections//, once you pick a council type, a box appears between the "Add councils to compare" card and the question table, showing the average score for that type of council. Why is this repeated here, when it was already displayed at the top of the page?
I just added a commit to display that only when a council has been selected. That way users don't need to scroll up to compare their council with their type of council.
[x] Similarly, when you visit the page for a section that only applies to CAs (eg: /sections/s2_tran_ca/), the page still offers to "show questions by type of council" with four buttons, one for each of the non-CA council types! I think you probably meant to hide those filter buttons on the CA-only sections – or hide the entire pale purple filter form on CA-only sections. The user’s somehow made their way to the page for a CA-only section, we can probably assume they’re only interested in CAs?
I think it's fine to assume the users would be only interested on CA sections. So I have added a commit to hide the filters when we are in a CA type of council.
[x] When you add a council to compare, the little button with the council’s name (that appears inside the "Add councils to compare" box) smashes against the "Clear all" link –
needs an mb-3 or something.
Added a commit to fix that.
@zarino the rest of the comments I added them to this ticket., because it won't be updating just text, also there is some changes layouts from CEUK. It also includes things like section descriptions on the /sections page.
Just in case there is one bullet point that still need work:
[x] It seems that I’m able to add any type of council as a comparison, even on the pages for sections that don’t apply to that type of council. For example, on /sections/s5_bio/ (a section that, by its own admission in the boxes at the top of the page, doesn’t apply to CAs, and doesn’t even have an equivalent for CAs) I was able to add North East Combined Authority as a comparison – and it appeared there, as a column, with scores in it! How is that even possible?
@struan here are the descriptions in the meantime:
Buildings & Heating
Buildings and Heating is one of the biggest sectors of carbon and other greenhouse gas emissions in the UK. This section covers the main actions that councils can take to support both private rented and owned homes and socially renting households to reduce the emissions from their homes.
Transport
Transport is the other biggest sector of greenhouse gas emissions in the UK. This section covers the main enabling actions councils can take to reduce car use and encourage more sustainable transport within their area.
Governance & Finance
This section aims to understand to what extent climate action has been incorporated and embedded across the whole of the council in all its activities and services in its decision making, forward planning and structures. This section also looks at how councils are raising funds for climate action and whether the councils’ investments are sustainable or supporting high carbon infrastructure and industries.
Planning and Land Use
This section focuses primarily on how councils are using their planning powers, primarily through their Local Plans, to ensure low emission new buildings and homes, as well as ensuring new developments are built to minimise their environmental impact. This section also covers the renewable energy generation and fossil fuel generation planning applications in the area.
Biodiversity
The climate emergency is deeply connected to the ecological emergency. This section looks at what councils can do to protect and increase biodiversity in the area through their direct actions, the management of their green spaces, and biodiversity net gain requirements for developers.
Collaboration & Engagement
This section addresses how councils can collaborate with others to improve their own climate action and to support others in the area to decarbonise. More than half of the emissions cuts needed to reach net zero rely on people and businesses taking up low-carbon solutions, and councils can work with those in their local area to enable those solutions.
Waste Reduction & Food
This section looks at the influencing role councils can play in supporting sustainable food production on their land and in their schools, and circular economy initiatives locally. Councils also have an important role to play in waste and recycling locally and improving this.
For Combined Authorities
Buildings, Heating & Green Skills
Buildings and Heating is one of the biggest sectors of carbon and other greenhouse gas emissions in the UK. Combined Authorities do not own council homes or have direct involvement with homeowners. Instead, they lead on adult education in their area, as well as economic growth so have an opportunity to influence the Green Skills needed for low carbon buildings and heating.
Transport
Transport is the other biggest sector of greenhouse gas emissions in the UK. This section covers the main actions combined authorities can take at a broader level to reduce car use and encourage more sustainable transport within their area.
Governance & Finance
This section aims to understand to what extent climate action has been incorporated and embedded across the whole of the combined authority in all its activities and services in its decision making, forward planning and structures. This section also looks at how combined authorities are raising funds for climate action.
Planning, Biodiversity & Land Use
The climate emergency is deeply connected to the ecological emergency. This section covers how combined authorities can support the protection of and increased biodiversity in the area. This section also covers the enabling role combined authorities can play in supporting renewable energy generation locally and embedding net-zero targets into their area-wide strategic planning.
