An article about revolutionising England’s planning system mistakenly referred to “the British countryside” in its opening line (“Countryside at risk from Johnson’s planning ‘revolution’, critics warn”, 5 July, page 17). Meanwhile, a joint letter to the Observer from a number of charities, to which this article referred, was missing one of its signatories, the WWF chief executive Tanya Steele (“Recovery plan must not endanger Earth”, 5 July, page 50) .
An interview with Jim Steyer (“The man who took on Mark Zuckerberg”, 5 July, page 36) misdescribed him as a “Stanford law professor”. To clarify: Steyer is a lawyer and he teaches civil liberties in the political science faculty of that university.
The New Zealand novelist Emily Perkins teaches creative writing at the Victoria University of Wellington, and not the University of Auckland, as we said (“Planet Virus”, 5 July, page 16, the New Review).
