Recession Causes Sharp Drop in Council Income

So are the May 2010 elections ones which the local Tories would rater lose? Whoever wins could be in for a nightmare of having to implement a budet for 2010-2011 which has cuts built into it - to make it balance - which are not however spelt out, since it will have been set before the elections when to do so would be politically "difficult".The fundamental difference is that the local Tories like cutting public spending and local Labour does not. One foolish decision, I believe, has been promoting each school to have its own 6th form. These will, I believe, drain resources from 11-16 education, and not be very viable educationally. I cannot believe each school can offer an effective A level choice, nor offer a decent range of non-academic post-16 vocational education. One of the great virtues of the William Morris Academy was that those attending had elected to stay on in education but had put behind them the misdemeanours of the school years. I suspect that some headteachers want the beneficial behavioural effects of some more mature pupils on the younger kids, plus the kudos from having a 6th form, But it is a big investment at a time of scarcity.I fear that child protection services will be under pressure as ever, and that residential facilities for the elderly will be reduced. Both are very labour-intensive and expensive, and both will come under a lead cabinet member not as committed as the late Councillor Lillis.

I appreciate they broke the law but 15 months in jail!  In some cases people who kill don't get that long.

Local access to public space

I am currently doing a Masters research study on the impact that developments in Shepherds Bush have had on local access to public space. I am particularly interested in the impact that nightlife has had on access at night. I would be very greatful for your experiences and views on the topic.Here are some questions to muse over;As a result of the developments in Shepherd Bush;Has space been opened up to the public?Have local people gained services and space or lost them?Have certain groups been excluded from public spaces and services as a result of the development? Have alternatives had to be created that offer appropriate services to the local people?Has the area become more or less accessible and appealing to local people at night?Any comments...

NHS Safe in Tory Hands?

"One of the wonderful things about living in this country is that the moment you're injured or fall ill - no matter who you are, where you are from, or how much money you've got - you know that the NHS will look after you." David Cameron said this so are we to belieive it? We live in the area housing the world class Imperial College NHS trust. Hammersmith hospital and Charing Croos and Chelsea and Westminster on our doorstep. Should we be grateful or critical? Was Hannan wrong in his comment not to wish the NHS on anyone in his US interview?What would you say to the Abama critics? would you not wish the NHS on anyone? My  Aunt, who was recently medically qualified, left these shores for New Zealand in 1948 due to the belief that the introduction of the NHS would be the end of her career and of quality general practice in this country.

Monday to Friday let - seeking flatmate

I'm looking for a new flatmate to move into the flat I'm renting in Shepherds Bush - interested in all week let or Monday to Friday.  The room will be free end August/September.  It is a lovely and spacious flat with dishwasher, garden, cable, broadband and although there is only one bathroom with power shower, there are two loos. The sitting room is spacious and the kitchen/breakfast room is huge. I am pretty relaxed and housetrained, sociable and go out a fair amount, away every second/third weekend and am looking for somebody normal and independent to share with - although its great to share bottles of wine, and watch DVDs, but it isnt really a party flat. Boyfriends/girlfriends fine, provided they don't move in too. The flat is rented so whoever moves in will need to sign the lease as well and provide references as well.

New fresh fish seller at Acton Market (it's not very far away)

Dear customers,We are pleased to introduce to you, from this week onwards, Les Lawrence of Christchurch Line-Caught Fish.Les is a day-boat fisherman from Dorset who is fully committed to sustainable fishing practices. Les's traditional rod-and-line fishing techniques mean that he is able to ensure minimum wastage - no dead fish are thrown back in the sea, and all that he catches (hopefully) goes straight to the bellies of his fish-loving London customers.Les only started selling his wares on London markets less than a year ago, and has swiftly built up a cult following in South Kensington, where he has been selling his fish for many months now - everyone has really taken to his produce as soon as they have seen how fresh it is (Les brings up the catch from his previous day's fishing expeditions, something the supermarkets can only dream of). Now Les is fishing more often, and ready to bring his wares to pastures new. Acton is his next port of call...Les will be attending weekly from now on, as long as he has a good enough catch.Many of you have been asking after Martin Yorworth, the popular fisherman from Canvey Island. Unfortunately, Martin is not well enough to make it up to London at the moment, but we certainly hope to see him back and selling his produce to his faithful punters at some point in the near future.Enjoy the fish this weekend.Regards,Sandy, Jill, Geraldine, Cheryl, Mark and ArthurLondon Farmers' MarketsTel. 020 7833 0338www.lfm.org.uk11 O' Donnell CourtBrunswick CentreLondonWC1N 1NY

Blue Badge misuse

"4,900 blue badge holders in the borough"I was surprised at this - it works out at 200-300 per ward. Most are, I am sure, legitimately held. But there are three problems:a) those who have them but shouldn't - always illegalb) those who have them but whose family use the car and its priviledge, and of this number, those who abuse themc) those who have them legitimately but abuse them, eg parking on double yellowsThe scope for abuse is therefore quite high and it's right there is a clampdown.Does anyone know of people falling into a), b) or c)?

Population of Shepherd's Bush

Does anyone have a verifiable source for the population of Shepherd's Bush to help settle an argument? I'm told it is 11,000 based on a reference in the Telegraph but that seems really low to me and I'd like some evidence to back me up.
