I don't think the issue is whether new homes should be built here Paul but rather how many and where. This present government made great claim that locals could be involved in how and where their communities would be developed courtesy of the Localism Act but this in fact is not necessarily the case and is most certainly not the case with regard to Dawlish. In the case of Dawlish in ...
Letter from this week's Dawlish Gazette: " Town is violated by developers Wednesday, 15 January 2014 John Wilkinson, chairman of Dare, writes: This year started off much the same as the end of 2013 and I am not referring to the weather. I refer to the confusing state of Teignbridge Council’s Local Plan, sometime called the Local Plan or Plan Teignbridge and supposedly ...
Well, this is what the Office for Budget Responsibility thinks. http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/immigration-will-help-clear-deficit-say-treasurys-economic-advisers-1432273
On the matter of UKIP racists - I know a very active UKIP supporter in Dawlish. Some time ago this particular individual told me that they objected to the TDC form asking about ethnic origin etc as it included the term Black British. According to this particular UKIP activist they did not accept that there was any such thing as a Black British person. For them, "Black British" was a contradiction ...
From what I can ascertain Bulgarians and Romanians have been able to come to this country since 2007 to work provided; 1) they obtained a work permit; 2) came as self-employed; 3) or as part of the Seasonal Agricultural Workers' Scheme. 11% of Bulgarians and 6% of Romanians have already worked in the UK prior to 1.1.14. source: page 14 ...
Thank you for the link. I did try to watch it online but it kept getting 'stuck' and as it had already taken me about 30 mins to watch about 7 mins worth of the programme I stopped trying. However , from what little of the programme I did manage to see I remember very early on the narrator saying that James Turner Street (aka Benefit Street) "is not your average street" and then a bit later ...
Can't say I've seen any of it Wondering but I have noted it has produced quite a bit of controversy - name of the programme being one of the bones of contention I believe. So....as I haven't seen it I've just been looking at various newspaper reviews of the latest programme. Something about Romanians living in the street I understand. Seems they were using a bit of entrepreneurial initiative ...
Try as I might I cannot find any figures relating to UK emigration which, if they aren't any checks and records made, isn't surprising really is it? Which then begs the question of where does the ONS and other bodies get their emigration figures from? Anyhow, in my fruitless search for recent UK emigration stats I came across this. Have a read - hands up those who can see irony when it ...
found this on the UKBA website: ECB15.3 How to check if a person has left the UK There is no immigration embarkation control at UK ports. If asked by the UK Border Agency to find out if a person has returned home, Entry Clearance staff can: check application records to see if the person has re-applied for another entry clearance; make enquiries through the local police; ...
It may be my eyes playing tricks on me, but if you look closely at that graph shown in the link Wondering has posted would I be correct in thinking that it excludes the numbers of British citizens leaving the Uk to go to other EU countries?
