But! There is one real pivotal point that you are understandably avoiding and for everyone’s sake you should consider the implementing. I refer to a conversation my wife and I could not help overhearing between three teenagers in Mc Donald’s in the London Rd:” are you going for the job for live option” yeah! My mum says that I should have it straight away cos you will anyway one day and the clock is ticking and if I pay her half the child benefit she will put mine with hers and that would give me free time plus she reckons her sisters friend in the housing department can get me a 1bed flat to myself and they send someone round to do all the forms for you and my mum wants another flat for when her brother comes out so I gotta do it really. There, right there is the answer, no child benefit , no housing for the first child starting in nine months from now, change the mothers attitude and you change the culture, because she now knows it is she that gets to house the teenager and the new child until the second arrives, and that she will not do. Oh, and clear out the nepotism in the housing department one connected claimant signed on means one public servant released, there is no point in paying both the claimant and the facilitator, something has to give if we are going to bring this mindless vicious circle to an end, and allow teenagers to be exactly that young citizens in their own right, at least get them into adulthood before making these decisions. One area of contention which could turn the ratepayers off is the housing of early release into the communities the Bail and Accommodation Service is raising temperatures even at this early stage watching or good men serve abroad and the compare that to a lag getting 3 square meals a day, not less than 80 yds from a primary school really baulks. Stop that one dead in its tracks the savings made are just not worth the loss of goodwill that you need to get the austerity measures fully underway. Trust me on this I am on the ground and the backlash from this ill thought out idea is really starting to bite, to say nothing of the coup you have given every opposition councillor with a propensity to create mischief, it’s a tool from the gods to them, pull the contract from Stoneham.
