Plain English Campaign

Wintry Sunday mornings for sensible folk are all about warm duvets and cooked breakfasts, but not for Plain English Champion, Adam Addison of Swan Housing Association. Adam braved the sub-zero temperatures, with moral support from his wife Clair, to join Marie of Plain English Campaign at the Phoenix FM radio studios in Brentwood.

Ed Wellman, a radio presenter who supports plain English principles for clear communications, took us on an hour-long interview on the need for clarity, and the efforts being made by Swan Housing to make sure their tenants are kept properly informed.
