What this city needs.

THE LOCAL ECONOMY.

  Getting the local economy moving in the right direction again needs to be done from numerous directions,from small, easily implemented ideas, through to more complex and time consuming schemes.

  First off, we need to help businesses that are already located within the city, and we do this by lowering business rates, and by lowering, or even dropping completely, car parking charges. If people know that parking will cost a little, or nothing at all, you will attract them in to the retail areas, if in these financially tight times you try and screw them with sky high parking charges, they simply won't come, and if the public aren't there, the sales won't be either, and that just applies more pressure to already strained businesses.

  The unattractiveness of places like Hanley needs to be changed too, and I'm not just talking about architectural aesthetics either, having the main retail area of the city filled with drunks, druggies, and gangs of immigrants on every street corner, does nothing at all for the image of the place, so social changes can and will effect the financial success of the area too.

  Large contracts given out to national/multinational companies would be far more effectively used if split up amongst local companies employing local people. A list of local builders for instance, held by the council and checked that they are cosher, could become the recipients of parts of a large contract that would have gone to a single company, but that has been split down into pieces small enough for local companies to handle. As part of them being listed for this contractual work, we make it part of the deal that these companies have to supply proper apprenticeship places.

  Offering this work to local companies guarantees that the money gets used in the local economy, this is one way in which we can help get things moving.

  The city council have to make Stoke-on-Trent a viable proposition for companies to want to move here, and in particular the larger companies that bring finances and jobs, and the way to do this is leading by example. The city council have to show that they have the innovation of policy that will attract the attention of big business, and in financially tight times like these, the only way to attract those big businesses is by showing them something special.
 Financial packages that keep local business rates low are essential, being able to adjust the school curriculum in order to teach the skills these businesses will need is also essential if the employment of locals is going to be noticeable.
  Running the council fleet on bio-fuel, creating at least one bio-mass plant in the city, green ideas like infra red lamp posts that switch on when triggered by movement, and then click off when that movement has passed, would save a fortune in electricity charges. Using rainwater for the flushing of toilets, using sewage to produce methane, comprehensively overhauling the recycling done by the council in order to improve efficiency and revenues, there are dozens of things to be done which could highlight this city in a positive way that are just being ignored by the present council regime, and you won't attract in the businesses that will change the city for the better doing this.

 Remeber too that "economy" touches on just about every service area the council deals with, from housing to public transport, so all these services can have an effect on the financial success of the city if handled right, not ignored or corrupted like at present, and the importance of regeneration means it cannot be left in the hands of who control it at the minute, their touch upon our city has been disastrous, their pathetic attempts at regeneration have left the city looking like it did after WW2!

  There is much to be done, but we have no doubt that what is needed can be achieved, it's down to you as voters as to what you want the city to become.

Killing the economy.

                                  A couple off 66 ff's, aka Britains biggest pair of mammaries!

  If you listen to these expensively suited imbeciles from the government, you could be deceived into thinking that the funding of our infrastructure, the budgeting of our everyday services, might be a difficult and complicated business, and indeed, that is what these numpties have turned it into to prevent questions being asked as to what the hell they are doing!

  They complain that they are in an impossible situation, once again having to clean up the mess left by Labours communists, and in this they are right, every time Labour have been in power, the country has been left bankrupt, on its knees through the financial mismanagement of a political party that never weill understand how to run an economy in a fiscally responsible way.
  But these Tory socialists are adding to their own problems, the worst of which is increasing the foreign aid budget by 3 BILLION, to a total of £12.1 BILLION!

  How the hell can you justify giving away over twelve billion pounds when the country is struggling to keep its head above water? How is this in any way, representing the British people?
When are these arses going to start doing what's best for Britain?

   They should have lowered tax rates in order to stimulate growth, to keep our town and city centres busy with shoppers, but no, these public school ponces who have no idea at all as to the nature of real life, continue to make decisions designed to restrict further our economy!

  Creating the approaching problems that our insane fuel prices will cause, not just at the pumps but the huge jumps in electricity prices as well. Food costs will increase as transport costs do, and they know this, yet still they force increases onto an ever strained public, and all this pressure on the British public is heading toward major civil unrest.

   And Cameron's reneging on his election promises hasn't gone down well either, with our chance to have our say on the EU being removed, yet this money pit that is populated with unelected, communist euro crooks, is allowed by our political leaders to gather more and more control of these islands, and at an ever increasing cost. All in, the EU costs Britain in the region of £200 billion per year!

  The real problem is that this Con-Dem coalition government is atrocious, but even so, it is preferable to another spell under the communists of the Labour party, the very people that lead us into this avoidable mess in the first place!

  By the time of the next general election, we nationalists need to have candidates of a high enough calibre to stand, and win, seats in parliament, and we don't have long to get sorted.

Something stinks at the Civic Centre.

  Something stinks at the Civic Centre.
 
At the time of the budget publication, we were told that the city council had managed to land itself with a £45 million shortfall for the following years budget, after excessive spending by unnamed council departments.

  Then we're told that the city council has to find £30 million in cuts over three years, then it was £30 million per year, now it's £33 million per year.

  In
2008 we had £93 million in cash investments, £13 million was on call, so that left £80 million.Then the city council decided to invest all your money with the Debt Management Office, a government account in which the government get all the interest. A Freedom of Information request shows that there is now just £25.25 million left in that account, that's from £80 million!

3 fraud squad investigations, including one initiated by us. 6 council officers suspended, one arrested and charged with theft and fraud. £26 million of your money put through the exemption rule of the councils contract regulations, meaning specific companies could be offered contracts without having to tender for them! How bloody crooked is that?!

   Closing pensioners bowling clubs, stopping the mobile libraries, shutting swimming pools, all in the hunt for savings, but then there was £36,000 spent on Common Purpose training and meetings, free parking for council employees which costs "700,000 per year, £500,000 spent by the man hired to get council spending under control, on tarting up his office in the Civic Centre!

Most of the senior council officers don't live in Stoke-on-Trent, which means the obscene sums they pilfer as salary doesn't get spent in Stoke's local economy. More and more city councillors are moving out of the city to the leafy suburbs, doubtless paid for by public funds.
 It should be this simple; IF YOU DON'T LIVE IN THE CITY, YOU CAN'T REPRESENT THE CITY!!

  Money spent on big contracts with outside companies should have been spent with local companies, helping to kickstart the local economy and provide jobs for native Stokies, a group completely ignored by the establishment as it panders to immigrants. In particular, the fraud squad should take a close look at the contract given to Kier, a company prosecuted by the Office of Fair Trading for price fixing and BUNGING!!

  Help get these chisellers and third rate liars, thieves, and incompetents out of office so we can get this city back on track for the people of this city!
