In some parts of Nottingham. On outer edges there are big council estates of mostly honkies.
Yet nick Forbes wasted 100k protesting about the wonga dome name change.Local item about some dear old chap in Gosforth (along with many others) getting the chop due to gov't funding.
Lot's of well-heeled parents kicking off of course.
Do we actually need them or is it just a tradition that people like and dont want to give up?
It's easier to get out of the way of a penny farthing than a speeding Audi though..,It's like half the kids these days are born with nee legs and are incapable of walking a few hundred yards to school
and the other half are born with nee brains and don't know how to use a crossing.
Lollipop ladies hadn't been invented when I went to school and there was never a bit of bother.
I don't drive that route very often but there will be hods of students living there as Nottingham Trent uni have the campus.Is Clifton still mostly white?
Here's my suggestion - get rid of a lot of managers/line managers employed on some inflated scale instead of getting rid of people at the frontline. That should make huge savings. If Sunderland is anything like Gateshead Council many departments are now top heavy as a result of losing (ie redundancies) further down the scale with, in some cases, managers with no one to manage.Eh? If councils budgets are cut, what do you expect them to do? They are trying to keep as many services going, but with less cash. What should they do? Just sack it off all together? I'd rather have a volunteer doing it than there not being one. #ToryBastards

Over in Northern Ireland there's a school not far from the inlaws that's a 40 limit right past the gates. Even that's only about 300 yards past the school in each direction, the rest is a national limit. It wasn't always like that, the locals had to campaign to get the section that is 40 dropped. Suppose it's a bit different as it's in the countryside and there's nowt on the other side of the road that would make you bother crossing, but being used to 20 zones round here I was amazed.Where I live, it's a 40mph road that drops to 30mph a few metres before the school entrance.
I know someone whose job it was specifically to 'line manage' a team and whose team (myself included) were made redundant. They still get the additional money for this function and no drop in scale either. I just can't seem to get over it!I did then say they could bladder some fat cats tbf. Managers posts galore now in the public sector that doesn't involve managing, tends to just be used to indicate a scale or grade it seems.

Don't think that's so much the case, I know of some folk working at the Civic Center saying they're down to about a third of the staff that were there at one point. Unless it's one third managers. In which case there would be nobody doing any work.Here's my suggestion - get rid of a lot of managers/line managers employed on some inflated scale instead of getting rid of people at the frontline.

Then again, typical council etc.
I think I'm justified being angry at that particular individual - she decided along with HR who was going, and when, and this eventually became everyone else...but her, although she took on some of my work, and gets over twice the wage I used to get.Not sure its right to be angry at the individual mind, but that's shit.
What they've done at Gateshead is get rid of a lot of staff at the lower end of the scale at the Civic Centre and merge some departments - but expecting those left to pick up other people's work. One of the reasons a friend of mine took redundancy as they were piling on the work. They are top heavy with managers from what I hear.Don't think that's so much the case, I know of some folk working at the Civic Center saying they're down to about a third of the staff that were there at one point.

Always thought if you aren't bright enough to know how to cross a road you shouldn't be out unaccompanied.
I think many are needed. The roads outside the bairns school are pretty bad because of people now knowing how to drive properly.
Could say the same about some of the teachers .Need to make sure none are nonces now like so they are DBS checked
