Ecotowns and the Social Fund

23 December 2008 //

Apologies for the unne­ces­sary delay, dear readers! I’ll be using this lovely holiday (when I’m not eating, sleeping or playing on my Wii Fit — so much fun! So much muscle pain!) to produce last week’s poll-winning consulta­tion — Ecotowns in the UK!

As a bonus, I’ll also be doing a very short trans­la­tion of the latest Department for Work and Pensions effort, which has caused a lot of anger by suggesting that state loans should accu­mu­late interest as one option to save money.

The consulta­tion in ques­tion is actu­ally really short. However it’s still pretty densely worded, and I’m sure we can do better than that!

Happy Christmas everyone.

The options are up for the next trans­la­tion. They are:

  1. 21st Century Schools
    A large and compre­hensive (no pun intended!) look at where the UK’s educa­tion system is going.
  2. Mayors and Indirectly Elected Leaders
    A consulta­tion on making it easier to peti­tion your coun­cils on how you want the top jobs decided.
  3. National Flood Emergency Framework
    Extremely detailed consulta­tion on how the country should react to flood emer­gen­cies (as it says on the tin!)

Vote on the website poll, or leave me a comment.

Also, I know I said I’d do the Department of Work and Pensions paper on loans, but it turns out the consulta­tion ended just before Christmas! It was a very short one, too, less than a month. I do take issue with short consulta­tions, the recom­mended minimum is 12 weeks.

Let me know if you like the new site design!
