What Bedlington Can Learn From Baghdad

Featured Replies

In a word microgrants!

Not huge sums splurged on yet more useless "urban engineering" [see: http://www.bedlington.co.uk/community/index.php?showtopic=1514] but relatively small sums given out to local businesses people to improve local services.

No form filing or delay, but grants made and agreed on the ground by trustworthy (non-party) local officials who themselves ensure that the money is spent on what was agreed.

This works in Baghdad and it can work here!

i'll believe it when i see it. Its seems to be a bit of a sticky problem of how to get rid of the money, without looking like someones getting their gaff done up for gratis. I suggest the rear of the front sreet needs more work than the back. Or maybe a new play park for the likes of monsta to vandalise and hang out in for a few months .. maybe he could meet a girlfriend

well its got its plus points and minuses. The food is ok if you like chicken wings or steaks/burgers but theres no fish and chip places out here, well there are but the fish is rancid . weathers good, in the summer, but winters cold, ... altogether its pretty good, less knife crime , more pick up trucks, bigger roads, more country music! ha
