JOB losses created by Covid could see poverty in Dudley become ‘rampant’ as the number of benefit claimants increase over the coming months, it has been claimed. Council officers predict new claims for council tax reductions from those on low wages or unemployed could reach 17,500 at the end of July before falling off later this year. In a discussion on Dudley’s proposed budget council tax increase of 4.99 per cent, Quarry Bank and Dudley Wood councillor Bryan Cotterill told a meeting of the Corporate Scrutiny Committee that poverty could become ‘unimaginable’. He said: “I don’t think we can even imagine what it’s going to be like when we come through this.
The Household Waste Recycling Centre at Bowling Back Lane
BRADFORD Council will begin replacing its fleet of large diesel vehicles with greener gas powered vehicles in 2021 - Councillors have been told. While much of the Council s fleet is likely to switch from petrol to electric in the coming years, larger vehicles will soon be powered by compressed gas. And at the most recent meeting of Bradford Council s Corporate Scrutiny Committee members were told that it was hoped that these gas powered vehicles would arrive in Bradford in late 2021. The Committee was discussing plans to create a new advanced fuel centre at the Council s Bowling Back Lane waste site. The site would tap into the existing gas network to create a fuelling station for the new green vehicle fleet.
Ysgol Gynradd y Talwrn, Anglesey. Screengrab from Google Streetview. Opponents of plans to shut an Anglesey primary school have failed in their latest bid to block a £6m reorganisation of education in the Llangefni area. Meeting on Thursday, the council’s Corporate Scrutiny Committee voted to recommend the closure of Ysgol Talwrn and to build an extention at Ysgol y Graig which will increase the capacity of the 2009-built school to 480. The recommendation, which will now go to the Executive for a final decision next week, would see the 38-pupil school close after the new block at the Llangefni primary is completed by the summer of 2023.
