Two of my favourite visits were to Abby Gates School in Ravenshead and Hallam C of E School (see photo). I had a tour of both schools and it really is good to see the work being done by our teachers and their governors. I am continuing to press the Secretary of State on school funding, especially putting the case for Joseph Whittaker and Dukeries College. I’ve been talking to the good people of Sherwood for over two years now, knocking on doors listening to the issues that worry or frustrate them. While you never know exactly what you’re going to get after you’ve rung that bell, I can always guarantee that a few key topics will come up and one of those is our benefits system. We have a great tradition in our country of supporting the vulnerable, particularly our children and that is a tradition worth celebrating. There is however no denying that we have found ourselves in the ridiculous position that for some, it is more profitable to live off the state than it is to go to work. That isn’t fair. The Coalition has announced dramatic changes to our existing system. One of the driving campaign points of the Conservatives before the election was to take control of our benefits system; to address some of the unfairness that has become inherent with Housing Benefit; to ask higher earners to forgo their child tax credits but most importantly to make sure that it pays to work. The Teacher in the photo is The changes involved can’t simply be about taking Graham Cullen away, Government needs to give opportunities to those who want to work. We will be launching a Work Programme, which in 2011 which will put an end to the situation where anyone who can work will be able to sit at home on benefits doing nothing. There will be much better back-to-work support available to claimants, but if they refuse to use that support, they will lose their benefits. We’ve also looked at a way to make the benefits system simpler: to make it more P.S Just a quick note to let you know, that I accessible to those who need support but to protect the taxpayer from those seeking to received quite a few calls from my previous exploit the system. The Universal Credit is based on a simple premise – that work should advertisers. So here‘s hoping for a few more pay for everyone in all circumstances. At the moment people who are receiving benefits and are doing some work are in the in the new colour edition. bizarre situation. If their employer asks them to do more hours at work they will lose 95p Thanks again, the editor in every pound as their benefits are reduced by an amount almost equal to their increased pay. Nobody is going to do more work for in effect 60p/hour. Under the new system, that can no longer happen. Instead, state support will taper away at a constant rate as people work more hours or move up the income scale. I think Chris Grayling summed it up when he said “The desire for radical change to our welfare system is to be found right across the coalition. A welfare state is not somewhere that people should live – unless circumstance has made it impossible for them to work. Instead it should be a ladder up which people climb. To escape the cycle of deprivation and poverty that has dogged so many of our communities over the past, long thirteen years.” I’m proud that this Government has started to take the bold steps necessary to reform a broken system and to make life fairer for hard working families.

    ISSUE: 3 This is our third edition of “Edwinstowe Village News”. June was a big month in the calendar of the village, with the Jubilee celebrations and the visit of the Olympic Torch shortly afterwards. Inside you will find photos of the Edwinstowe “Jubilee Picnic” and the Edwinstowe Angels’ charity walk. There were still plenty of people who were determined not to be put off by the rain and came out to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee. Also inside, are pictures of the day the Olympic Torch came to Edwinstowe. People turned out in their thousands to welcome the Torch to “Robin Hood’s village”. It was one of those once in a lifetime days when people could say, “I was there.” Britain’s fickle weather didn’t smile kindly names, including Goffs, Benhams and Ococo had stalls on the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations- and Scott from Treet House did a hog roast for the Angels. organising any outdoor event in this country is a Some of Edwinstowe’s top talent performed throughout matter of chance.

  • Geographies of Belonging in the Nottinghamshire Coalfield: Affect, Temporality and Deindustrialisation

    Geographies of Belonging in the Nottinghamshire Coalfield: Affect, Temporality and Deindustrialisation

    GEOGRAPHIES OF BELONGING IN THE NOTTINGHAMSHIRE COALFIELD: AFFECT, TEMPORALITY AND DEINDUSTRIALISATION Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Leicester by Jay Emery School of Geography, Geology and the Environment University of Leicester December 2018 Abstract This thesis investigates the affective-temporal processes of belonging among mining families in the Nottinghamshire coalfield, examining how affective histories and memories of deindustrialisation and the coal industry mediate belongings. Literatures on the post- industrial working-class have noted how processes of deindustrialisation and industrial ruination have dismantled previous formations of belonging based around work, community and place. Research has also highlighted ways that the past emerges and surfaces in the present to unsettle and disrupt contemporary belongings. Analysis prescribed around specific methods belies the relationalities of discursive, embodied and sensorial textualities and distorts from how the past in the present is lived. Further, fundamental to understanding and recognising the past in the present is an attentive reading of those pasts from an historical perspective. Relatedly, social scientists have identified how affective class histories transfer intergenerationally and dispose working-class bodies to industrial forms of life that no longer exist. I suggest that the relationalities between belonging and memory, lived experience and intergenerational transferences need to be understood as one affective-temporal process. Drawing on weak theory, Anderson’s ‘analytics of affect’ and the genealogical method, I propose a multi-modal methodology emphasising attunement to the embodied, reflexive and more-than-representational modes that the past emerges, as well as a nuanced tracing of place pasts. Through this methodological and analytical framework, I conceive the Nottinghamshire coalfield as a set of temporal and affective enfolded blendings conditioning the capacities of residents to belong and resist alienation.
