Provided the volunteers know what they are doing and are not well intentioned but ill-equipped/ill-informed amateurs.
Tories like volunteers.
I agree that developers will try and get themselves out of providing Affordable Housing if they possibly can. But at the moment that is the only way that Affordable Housing can be provided. (and courtesy of the 2016 Housing and Planning Act even that meagre amount may disappear as the Act effectively replaces Affordable Homes to rent with Shared ownership schemes and Starter Homes). This ...
Do you think it might have something to do with George Osborne's austerity regime whereby along with cuts to the welfare budget and other aspects of public spending he cut back on council funding? Thereby leading to a reduction in the services that councils could once afford to provide?

But the visitor centre will still have the effect of encouraging people to visit the Warren. Not that I am particularly bothered about that it's just that itstrikes me as being contradictory given what the SANGS is supposed to achieve. Actually I'm all for lots more educational visits to the whole Warren area - geography field trips, marine biology, oceanography, botony etc etc. I've ...

and on the issue of part-time workers and pension schemes I've just remembered this. That many occupational pension schemes back in the 1970s did not allow part-time workers to be members and which of the two genders mostly worked (still work) part-time? I don't think this discrimination got altered until sometime in the mid 1980s (via European Court I think). Certainly when my mum ...
and TDC should never have designated Warren Farm and adjacent land as the site for a SANGS in the first place as the land is sited right next door to a water treatment works which regularly pongs. "SANGS must be free from unpleasant intrusions (eg sewage treatment work smells etc)"
and on the matter of equality in the workplace and related matters please do not think that because things have improved that therefore: 1) women have achieved equality (we haven't), and that 2) that women's lives back in the 1970s were as they can be now. Compared to women of other generations: the policy was implemented against a background of inequality for this decade of ...
