Yarmouth School chronicles unveiled in Heather Cooper and Jill Cowley’s latest book

There was tea and plenty of cakes to launch the book, ‘Yarmouth School : A Celebration’ by Heather Cooper and Jill Cowley, at the Community Hall in St. James Street, Yarmouth, on the afternoon of Saturday 9th September.

Nearly one hundred past pupils, staff and their families and supporters gathered to celebrate with friends, making a very happy event.

The Mayor, Debbie McCleary paid tribute to all who had contributed memories and photos, and who had over the years, made Yarmouth School such a special place in the heart of the community.

Yarmouth Town Council provided financial support for the printing, with proceeds from book sales being held by YTC for future community projects.

Help from the Herepath Shenton Trust was gratefully received, and the Delphie Lakeman Trust kindly funded the Tea Party.

The book will be available from Holdings, Quay Street Yarmouth for £15.

I have really mixed feelings about this. Local government has increasingly over the years been given more and more “duties” by central government. Much of local authority funding is provided centrally, in part because of these imposed roles. Trimming them back should allow local councils to provide the services that local people want, rather than those central government says they must. There is an argument that some… Read more »

Is it possible that the elected leaders of IWC knew that such a review, and its potential outcome, was imminent and therefore have acted in the full knowledge that their decisions are ‘untouchable’ and not reversable. So much for open and transparent Government.

How low can these politians go? They’re even prepared to change the laws just to force through their nasty policies. It’s a classic case of moving the goal posts.

Typical Tory approach – spout on that core frontline services should not be cut and LA’s should be looking at cutting management instead – nice soundbite there. But on the other hand remove the statutory obligations that currently protect such frontline services. Ultimately they simply want a system where they can close or privatise anything at will.

we will see them all in court if needed , human rights are being breached, we live in a democratic country, we have rights and the govt cant keep changing that to suit themselves , european courts seem the only option next. this is far from over .

If complying with the law is “burdensome” on local authorities then change the law.

Enhances the reputation of politicians, locally and nationally, doesn’t it?

So if they changed the law that stops you robbing banks it wouldn’t only be bankers that are able to get away with robbing banks, I’m definitely in favour of that.

@DaveQ, yeah but Dave I, in common with bankers and politicians, have no scruples whatsoever so I don’t care who it is I’m robbing just as long as I get my filthy thieving hands on the money.

Latest edition of ‘Private Eye’ at page 27 has an informative piece about an American library outsourcing business which has ‘ambitions to run 15%
of UK libraries within 5 years. This year Ventnor and Bembridge and then onto where?

This is just the tip of the iceberg. Too often we have taken for granted the hard won rights and protections services and individuals have had in this country, This Government is bent on destroying them. Taking the country out of the European Court of human rights is also on the agenda. These are all attempts to stop ordinary people having any means of justice if the… Read more »
