So we have it. The Government's energy strategy announced today. Centrepiece is up to 8 more nuclear power stations.

But we have not got the luxury of years:
Before the education act of 1988 local authorities were in control of local schools making decisions on staffing, assigning budgets and devising curriculums and overseeing assessments below O level and A level standard. The introduction of the act changed all that giving head teachers control of the day to day running of schools and giving control of monitoring and assessments over to central government.
Urgent road and pedestrian crossing improvements are needed if a new Greggs and Starbucks on Pennywell Industrial Estate in Sunderland are approved, according to local councillors for the area.
