With food prices rising, councils should keep their residents fully informed of their choices when shopping by creating a Google Map showing the various shops in the area. One type of pin could be used for independent retailers with a basic stock (newsagents), another for supermarkets, a third for cheap food shops (99p, Netto) and a fourth for large independent shops. Price ranges and reviews coul
The Times expands on the over zealous attitude local council seem to have towards surveillance.: Keith Vaz, chairman of the Commons Home Affairs select committee, told The Times: “I am personally shocked by the numbers involved in surveillance by the local authorities. It is important we make sure there is proper accountability and transparency in the way this operates.” The committee, which h
The vast majority of people are sincere and do not try to cheat the system, there are however some that do and the local councils are getting tough on the suspected cheats. The social security officers have got the powers to access the bank accounts, credit records and other finanical information for people they suspect [...]

For those who follow the local government stuff, you might be interested to learn that the recent consultation on how to structure Cheshire's districts has resulted in a probable outcome of two unitary councils! Indeed, with most favouring the "keep it as it is" option, but to make considerable improvements, with a single unitary council favoured by Cheshire CC itself, the result is a bit of a shock. It could mean that Crewe and Nantwich get thrown in with Macclesfield and Congleton. Quite how that will work, where the admin centre will be or how many local CNBC councillors will be axed remains unclear. They need to work the details. The CNBC lot won't take this lightly, and further talks and investigations are planned. Most surprising is the cash angle; how can creating two unitary councils be cheaper than the proposed single tier? Wasn't that the reason behind the consultation? I'm sure the local rags will carry more reaction later this week. Your thoughts...
“Every school in England should set up a council so pupils can have a voice on the appointment of teachers and running the school, a Commons committee says.” - Read the article here.

These institutions are known to be money-sucking commercialized businesses that feed on those who wish to gain a higher level of education. Yet lately, I’ve seen a change, an improvement in their structure. It’s somewhat becoming more “student oriented” still money-sucking in many ways nevertheless.
