  • Labour Warns Over Relaxing Sunday Trading Laws Churches Help Tackle
    Labour warns over relaxing Sunday trading laws Shadow Business Secretary, Chuka Umunna, urges government to Keep Sundays Special Labour MP Chuka Umunna, pictured right, has attacked the government after senior Conservatives openly suggested that Sunday trading hours should be permanently extended. A temporary extension to Sunday trading hours in England and Wales was introduced by the Government for the duration of the Olympic and Paralympic games earlier this year. However, No 10 has confirmed that ministers are looking at making the change permanent. Eric Pickles, the Communities Secretary, said that an extension should be “looked at.” the rights of people of faith, and to maintain at least Speaking to Churches Update, Chuka said: “Any some distinctiveness for Sunday.” extension to Sunday trading hours on a permanent basis will break up the consensus that was carefully Chuka’s comments received support from Justin King, put together after proper consultation over a long Chief Executive of Sainsbury’s who warned a period of time of businesses, unions, churches and permanent extension to Sunday trading hours was other organisations.” Recognising the importance of “not a magic answer to economic regeneration.” King Sundays to families and churches across the country, was writing in a letter to the Sunday Telegraph, in he said: “It will also mean the end of Sundays being which the Church of England and the Union of Shop, special and put pressure on families with 24 hour Distributive and Allied Workers and the Association of working across all of the retail sector seven days a Convenience Stores also expressed concern about the week.

  • Consultation on Possible Changes to Bus Routes 138, 269, 336 and 367
    Consultation on possible changes to bus routes 138, 269, 336 and 367 Consultation Report March 2013 Contents Section 1 Introduction 2 The Consultation 3 Responses from members of the public 4 Responses from statutory bodies and other Stakeholders 5 Summary Appendices A Copy of the consultation letter/leaflet B Leaflet distribution area C List of stakeholders consulted 1 Introduction This document summarises responses to the consultation for proposed changes to routes 138, 269, 336 and 367. TfL’s responses to the main issues raised are contained in a separate document. Both are available on the TfL website. The London Borough of Bromley is delivering significant changes to the area around Bromley North Village. These improvements include: • An enhanced pedestrian environment with wider footways • New public spaces • Clearer pedestrian signage • Safer crossings 2. The consultation As a result of these enhancements it is necessary to make changes to bus routes and stops in the area as it will no longer be possible for buses to use East Street. We are proposing changes to some of the bus routes that currently serve East Street, Market Square and Widmore Road and also changes to bus stops around Market Square. Affected bus routes Route 138 Bromley North – Coney Hall Route 269 Bromley North – Bexleyheath Route 336 Catford – Locksbottom Route 367 Bromley – Croydon From Bromley North station soutbound, buses on routes 138, 336 and 367 would be rerouted along Tweedy Road direct to Kentish Way, instead of East Street and Widmore Road. Route 269 towards Bexleyheath would be rerouted from Bromley North station, along Tweedy Road direct into Widmore Road.

  • Economy & Autonomy Blairfare: , Third-Way Disability and Dependency in Britain Introduction in This Paper We Intend to Explo
    Economy & Autonomy Blairfare: , Third-Way Disability and Dependency in Britain Jennifer Harris University of Central Lancashire, UK BobSapey Lancaster University, Lancaster, UK John Stewart Lancaster University, Lancaster, UK Introduction In this paper we intend to explore the social policy changes in relation to disabled people which are taking place in the United Kingdom, particularly since the election of the Labour government on May 1, 1997. We intend to first examine the key differences between this govern- ment and previous administrations and then to describe the policy changes which have occurred. We shall describe certain historical aspects of British social policy which are relevant to our analysis, a description that itself will involve an evaluation of the power structures that are emerging. The term which has been commonly used to describe this government's approach to economic and social policy is the "third way" and, while we acknowledge the value of this term in that it implies an alternative to either a collectivist or anti-collectivist approach to welfare (George and Wilding 1976), we have chosen to describe the policies we are examining as "Blairfare." This term, a combination of Prime Minister Tony Blair's last name and welfare, is intended to signify the rather personal character of "the third way" in Britain. Globalisation and the Nation-State For the past couple of years, the United Kingdom has had a Labour government but, unlike the experience of previous Labour and Conservative administrations, under the leadership of Prime Minister Blair we have been witnessing one of the greatest constitutional shake-ups this century.

  • Mr Jim Dowd MP: Resolution Letter
    1 Complaints rectified 2008-09 Mr Jim Dowd MP: Resolution Letter Letter to Mr David Eastham from the Commissioner, 22 December 2008 I have now concluded my consideration of your complaint against Mr Jim Dowd MP about the circulation of his Parliamentary report to you and others outside his constituency boundary. In essence, your complaint was that Mr Dowd had used funds from the House of Commons Communications Allowance to circulate a report to people living outside his constituency. I have consulted Mr Dowd and the House authorities about this matter. Having made my enquiries, I am satisfied that there is no substance in the allegation that the circulation of Mr Dowd’s newsletter outside his current constituency boundary was intended by him to secure advantage with potential voters in the new constituency, or that Mr Dowd deliberately used Parliamentary resources to circulate his report beyond his constituency boundary. I am satisfied that it was not Mr Dowd's intention that his Parliamentary report should be so circulated. The circulation outside his constituency was made in error by his distribution company against Mr Dowd's instructions to that company. Mr Dowd recognises that as a result there has been an inadvertent and comparatively minor breach of the rules of the House. Mr Dowd did not intend to breach these rules and he is sorry that the error occurred. He is taking steps to try to ensure that it does not happen again. I consider that this is a satisfactory resolution of this matter, and I have therefore closed the complaint on this basis.
