GLOBAL WARMING Will the proposed Green Bill head off climate change in the coming years. Every saving counts via Local Agenda 21 if we are to combat Global Warming,
President George Bush keeps smiling while the ice caps are melting, which is tangible proof our climate is changing and worryingly, faster than predicted, causing some concern for scientists. George still cannot see the wood for the trees.

GLOBAL ECONOMY v CLIMATE
China announces policy on global warming ahead of G8 summit this week. Hu Jintao released the core Socialist moral system entitled the Eight Honours and Eight Shames as a set of moral codes to be followed by the Chinese people. It has been widely regarded as one of Hu Jintao's ideological solutions to the increasing lack of morality in China after Chinese economic reforms brought in a generation of Chinese predominantly concerned with earning money and power

There's no time to enjoy the simple pleasures in life. We rarely speak to partners and no wonder a single mum like Britney Spears has issues.

LAW & ORDER
With Gordon Brown installed, we now stand a chance that our present Government may be sorted to some degree. Where successive governments have allowed serious issues we report on to go unchecked Mr Brown may have the fresh enthusiasm for the job.

HEALTH SERVICE 7 JUNE 2007
Our deteriorating Health Service, is a cause of much concern to all those who've contributed over the years. Independent Trusts are moving the goalposts to suit themselves ........ Finances have never been in better shape, but it is heading for economic disaster.
Morale among staff is at an all-time low. Contrasting visions of Britain's most consistently popular institution were presented yesterday by doctors and ministers. Yet their accounts were so far apart they appeared to occupy parallel universes. Vital administration personnel are being overworked and in some case constructively or unfairly dismissed to save the NHS money, with no thought for the health of those they are causing stress to facilitate early leaving.

CONSERVATION v PLANNING
For years Nelson Kruschandl struggled to prove a building in Herstmonceux was of historic interest and should be preserved. While the battle raged in closed corridors, he did not make many friends with the powers that be.
Then some 20 years later English Heritage and the County Archaeologist in Lewes came to the rescue. Read more of this using the links above, and please note this issue is now amicably resolved. |

AFFORDABLE HOUSING
Bringing down the cost of housing for first time buyers, will also relieve a number of social problems, such a debt, where house prices and mortgages are simply too expensive for those on the first rung of the ladder......
The cost of building a house has never been cheaper, yet artificial property values are kept high by town planners and an insensitive government to favour landowners and landlords. |

There was a time when you had the time to enjoy the simple pleasures in life. Now we rarely speak to our partners and have to schedule time to touch base on the important issues. No wonder the divorce rate is rising and no wonder our values are changing to reflect the disposable society we are creating.
Instead of helping our neighbours, some of them we fear, simply because we don't understand their culture and they ours. Whereas, the world is shrinking due to globalisation and free information exchange, much of which is achieved via the internet.
If you've ever fancied building yourself a dream house, or doing a conversion, and your council (or neighbours) start to give you a hard time, then this site may be useful to you. We reveal many of the tricks council officers get up to when enforcing as a result of neighbour complaints and the Old Boys Act. We also reveals the inner workings of council chambers and committee rooms (see evidence transcripts) and how distorted or misreported facts can cause serious injustice.
