Todays Echo --- 01 Dec 2009

Good news, not so good news and no news.

Good news - The announcement that Hurworth, Longfield and Branksome are to benefit from the Building Schools for the Future (BSF) programme means that every secondary school in the borough will have been rebuilt or significantly refurbished within the past four years. It is hoped work on the three schools will be completed by 2012.

It will be fantastic to see the school revamped. Just a shame that officers did not break the news personally to the ward councillors.

Not so good news- The front page of the Echo today made public that a MULTI-MILLION pound deal for community health care across County Durham and Darlington could be handed to a private company after managers served notice that they planned to cancel a contract with the NHS.

The decision, taken at a closed board meeting, was condemned last night by unions as the first step towards privatisation of key services.

This will directly affect me as part of the district nursing service and I will be very quick to remind colleagues that this step was taken under a LABOUR government.

No News - The scrapping of three public fora at full council last Thursday night which caused a great deal of debate from both sides of the chamber. A named vote followed by an unhappy leader of the opposition given his councillors were publically named and shamed for voting in favour of the disbandment without any consultation.
But strangely it never makes the Echo, a big debate and an important issue....
