Students, What Cost To The Taxpayer

Isn’t it the case that Governments are trying to keep Students at College, thus not allowing them to sign on as unemployed, thereby hiding the true figure of unemployment?

You might think this is all well and good. But is it?

Do Students really want to go to the College to study work? if so, why the Security Guards, walking around the Colleges. And are Colleges used as a meeting place to chat with there mates?.

I’m not saying this is the case with all Students, I know that some of them have worked very hard at the course’s they have taken.

What I am saying is that the Colleges are under presser to acquire enough students to make up the numbers, to get there funding, and this should not be a cause of them having to take every Tom, Dick, Or Harry, and in doing so wasting the Tutors, and everyone's  time. And SPENDING TAX PAYERS MONEY in the process .

We should not be in a situation of ALL Students will pass their grads with a “little” help.

 NO it’s about students wanting to achieve there own goals, get self satisfaction, thereby creating I want to do more by the students themselves.

I believe we have to stop Carrying Students through their college work, if we don’t, they will go into the big wide world, and have one almighty shock and not survive. WE will have helped in crating a world of disillusionment, dysfunctional young adults in our Society.

LETS STOP KIDDING OR SELVES. And get it right. IF WE DON’T, we live to see are selves the Tax payer, pay twice. IT’S TIME THIS GOVERNMENT WOKE UP   

Get Britain moving!

On hearing Mr Cameron, discussing various issues, and the need to defend himself, I can’t help feeling he is wasting valuable time, on a Punch and Judy show, with his associate Ed Milleband, for self gratification and pleasuring the House and all those in it.

Mr Cameron, time is not on your side. This Country, as you know, is in a very dangerous state.

You Mr Cameron stop these silly “tic tack” games, in the House. Get on with doing your job. Growth we need. Start searching, and introduce funding to kick start this economy.

Imports are far to high, its time to invest with new finance with- in the UK Horticultural sector. As at present we are only 60 per cent self- sufficient in the Vegetable production, according to Mr Kendall, Lincolnshire county AGM in this green and pleasant land, what the hell is that all about?

Examine the reasons as to why Exports are so low. Take a look at Avonmouth Docks near Bristol, on January 16, 2009 There were thousands of new cars just sitting there. The UK has slumped to a 12-year-low, due to a collapse in global sales, this represents the longest continuous halt in production at any UK car plant.

This country needs to look at what the highest imports are - into the country, then reproduce similar goods, and sell them within our own economy . Other areas for new investment could be the Construction trade, as there are many different manufacturing materials used, and always room for new inventive ideas. Thus creating profit to be spent.

It’s basic Economics. We produce = we create growth = Employment = sale goods, = create profit = equal Librium.

Keep the circular flow moving and let’s get Britain moving.

Bristol Planning Authorities

Lets look at Bristol city centre where in the 1960 a beautiful public house was knock down, after thousands protested. In place stood a Bristol and West malti- story office block, only to be knocked down and yet, again a new one standing exactly in the same place. Now when anyone visits the City Centre it is a total mismatch of development dominated by multi- story buildings, over the old detailed buildings ie Hippodrome.

Add to this some bright sparks of Planners and Developers coming up with the now malti- million pound shopping complex, has completely whipped out, any History of what was their before.

Some will argue that it was a good thing, as the shopping areas were dilapidated, and regeneration was needed. However, whilst this was true, it was important to keep Bristol’s identify, and NOT just through money to build enormous buildings to look impressive.

Has anyone thought about who will be visiting the shopping area.

Hello is every one asleep in the planning office. wake up face the fact that no-one wants to plow there way through the traffic, and then pay to park, when they can shop near there homes, and park for free.

It is very unsettling that the Planning Authorities do-not seem to have the know how in LONG TEARM strategy planning. Or may be they need a longer stay at Universaty.

What ever the reason, its all becoming a catastrophic unimaginable mishmash, of an urban Society gone made,. Only when some astonishing graffiti is viewed on these multi-story buildings, do I see a ray of imaginative couler and charm. At leased some- one that’s, NOT BEING PAYED HAS IMAGINATION AND IS TRYING.

Weston Super Mare Tropicana

When tourists travel hundreds of miles to visit the Tropicana, it is telling every one that there is a NEED for this kind of development. That’s why it was built in the first place.

Because the Tropicana has encouraged tourists to the area, the local shops have benefited financially. This being the case the Tropicana is a building that should be given as much preference as possible - not knocked down, as is now intended by North Somerset Council.

The building is such an ASSET, with the introduction of careful, sympathetic redevelopment on a larger scale. More families in Britain would benefit.

Planning is about the future and creating Buildings of Architectural interest, incorporated with long term financial plans for the future. The Tropicana can do both if only North Somerset Council had enough foresight to see this. (Any fool can knock something down).

I have this to say North Somerset Council STOP YOUR DITHERING. THINK about the financial rewards to the local areas, and how it would keep people employed, as well as the enjoyment it would create, which we all need.

YOU North Somerset Council owe this to your public. So do your duty, re-evaluate the total cost because so far you’ve done nothing.
