This week David Cameron done a sort of re-launch of his pet project The Big Society.

I've lost count of how many times he has re-launched this. This time he has announced a £250million fund to stop community facilities closing down, he said he wanted local people to be able to own shops, village halls, playing fields and even swimming pools.

I wonder if the Prime Minister's announcement could be connected with the Chancellors spending review at the end of this month when he will announce spending for 2015/2016, as some are reporting that local authority funding will be one area that will be hit quite hard.

There again maybe I am just being cynical ;-)

Researching:
I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"

Forgive me for pointing it out, but there was a time when local people owned all those things.........until they were priced out of existence

Correct, you are just being cynical.
