In the episode, Betty is dancing with her husband at their wedding when the couple is suddenly interrupted by Adele.

  • Minutes in What You Have Said That He Wishes to Rebut, Then I Am Going to Ask Him to Do That
    Appendix 2 Mayor’s Question Time – Monday 24 February 2020 Transcript of Item 4B – Questions to the Mayor Jennette Arnold OBE AM (Chair): We now move to questions on the budget and we have lead-off questions from political groups. The format will be as follows: the first question will come from the Labour Group, then we will take questions from the City Hall Greens Group, then the GLA Conservatives and then the Brexit Alliance Group. Can I ask Assembly Member Duvall to put his question? Len Duvall AM: Can you tell us if there are any technical changes that you have made to your budget around collections and issues like that in the financial aspects of the budget? Sadiq Khan (Mayor of London): Yes, there are some changes to the budget since I was last here. There has been a revision to the GLA’s Capital Strategy to include the correct level of annual housing need, there has been the inclusion of the Homelessness Grant which is now being received and an adjustment to the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC) capital programme to reflect the Government’s cut to MOPAC’s specific capital grant. You will be aware that there has been new funding in relation to the receipt of council tax and business rates, which were better than we thought. Len Duvall AM: Obviously that will enable you to do a little bit more for Londoners in terms of your future priorities and in terms of this budget. Sadiq Khan (Mayor of London): Absolutely. As you have seen, the overall total available to allocate is circa £143 million and I have set out in the final budget how we spend and allocate that £143 million, which I referred to in my opening statement.

  • To Close Rock Ferry High School and Park High School on 31 August 2011 and Replace Both Schools with One Academy on 1 September
    HAVE YOUR SAY ON SCHOOL CHANGES IN BIRKENHEAD About this document This document has been produced by Wirral Council as the first part of the consultation process with parents, the local community and other interested parties. The Council considers that the proposal is in the best interests of children, parents and staff at both Park High School and Rock Ferry High School and within the Birkenhead area as a whole. This proposal would bring together the two schools to create a single Academy to serve the Birkenhead area, increasing the opportunities for, and raising the performance of, all students in this area. The Governing Bodies at both schools have voted to support the development of an Academy in principle. The sponsors backing the Academy are as follows; . University of Chester (lead sponsor), . Birkenhead Sixth Form College (co-sponsor) . University of Liverpool (co-sponsor) . Wirral Metropolitan College (co-sponsor) . Wirral Council (also a co-sponsor) The Closure Consultation By law, Wirral Council as the local authority must consult on the closure of the two secondary schools separately from the consultation on the establishment of the new Academy, although the two consultations will take place around the same time. We would like to hear your views about the following proposal. The closure consultation will run until 7th April 2010. To close Rock Ferry High School and Park High School on 31 August 2011 and replace both schools with one Academy on 1 September 2011 ABOUT THE SCHOOLS running the academy. The Academy, working with the sponsors and other local partners, will provide a full range of courses to meet students’ academic and Rock Ferry High vocational aspirations.

  • Dear School Over Recent Weeks the Bus Operator Selwyn's Have Reported Numerous Incidents of Window Damage to Their Vehicles Du
    Dear School Over recent weeks the bus operator Selwyn’s have reported numerous incidents of window damage to their vehicles due to low-hanging tree branches. The matter has been raised with Wirral Highways and the locations identified in order for them to begin the tree cutting process. Due to the health & safety implications, Selwyn’s wish to divert services away from these locations until the remedial works have taken place to avoid the risks associated with the low-hanging trees. Therefore all Merseytravel supported services that operate with double deck vehicles along the locations identified will be diverted from Monday 7th October 2019. In order to minimise disruption, services have been revised to allow students to board their service as near to their current boarding stop. This may mean that some journeys are delayed during this period as journey time maybe longer to and from school. Below is a list of those services affected and the diversion route they will take until further notice. Merseytravel would request you share the details of this with parents so that they can make an informed decision about the travel opportunities for their children and prepare for the changes starting on Monday Merseytravel, Selwyn’s and Wirral Highways are working to ensure that the disruption to services is minimal and resolved as soon as possible. Once the works have been undertaken by the council we will communicate to you a specific date when diversions will be removed. I would ask that the school signposts all correspondence from parents to [email protected] , it is policy under GDPR not to have the correspondence of individual officers shared with the general public, I would appreciate the school upholding this.

This report describes the responses, including additional suggestions put forward during the consultation process, and makes recommendations with regard to statutory proposals in this area. It does not cover separate consultations by the lead sponsor, the University of Chester, regarding the opening of an academy. These consultations end on 30 th April 2010. 1.0 Background 1.1 At its meeting of 29th November 2007, Cabinet instructed that Phase 1 of the Secondary Places Review should comprise schools in Birkenhead and Bebington (Wirral South). 1.2 On 6 th November 2008, Cabinet approved a consultation option for change comprising the closure of Park High and Rock Ferry High Schools in order to establish an Academy. 1.3 Following the announcement that Birkenhead High School for Girls would become a state-funded Academy, and further analysis of demographic trends, this option was altered to incorporate two Academies – a mixed Academy at the Park High site, and a Boys Academy on a site to be confirmed. This proposal was linked to the closure of three existing schools – Ridgeway High School, Rock Ferry High School and Park High School.
