Mr Duncan Smith will announce a new "claimant contract" under which the Government promises more intensive, tailor-made support for the jobless.
Found this information from 11 Nov. 2010. My question remains, what does DDC intend doing to participate in any such support to get the jobless working? Surely Gov. would require local Councils to come up with a programme tailor-made for the local people. I wonder if Roger would afford a reply on this one? For some time I've been proposing that something be done, we need initiative.
I suppose one day Gov. will issue a decree placing responsibility on local District Councils to come up with ideas for their local people, as a Council would be expected to know their own District and what economic possibilities and potentials it can offer.
I think that sooner or later the issue will come up, and it won't be good enough then to hide behind elaborate plans of devolping new suburbs and hoping in people coming along from America and opening shops! Gov. might require that Councils dedicate themselves to the local people and see how they can get a job.
Somehow I knew that Gov. would get some common sense going. Here in Dover we really need it!
