Rachel Fenwick

Rachel Fenwick came to political writing after working in environmental planning and public consultation. She studied Geography and Environmental Policy at the University of Exeter, then spent several years preparing consultation summaries, local planning notes, and public information material on transport, housing growth, flood risk, and carbon reduction. Her interest is not only in climate targets, but in the administrative detail behind them: who pays, which bodies deliver, how communities are consulted, and what happens when national commitments meet local pressure. That background gives her writing a practical tone, especially on green policy, regulation, land use, and public accountability. For London Politics, Rachel is useful on stories that sit between environmental policy, Westminster decision-making, public services, and the everyday politics of place.
