Southern Housing Group Housing Minister visits Market Estate 25 January 2008 This week Caroline Flint MP met with tenants and senior housing officers from Southern Housing Group when she visited Market Estate in Islington. Her visit came two days before her official instatement as Minister for Housing. She spent the morning learning about the regeneration of the estate and the neighbouring Caledonian Park and met tenants who had undergone the recent decanting to new units. She then toured the estate to see first-hand how seamless the ‘demolish, build and rehouse’ process had been, and how pleased the residents were with the end result. David Kelly, a resident of the Market Estate in and Board Member of Southern Housing Group, was one of the first to be moved, he said: "Southern Housing Group is now delivering the new homes for families on the Market Estate in Islington. The minister showed a real understanding of the challenges for people living on an inner city estate. I a...

The crane is so big that to stop blocking roads during the day, it can only travel at night. Very Slowly.

FT.com / Books / Fiction - Crusaders Crusaders Review by Adrian Turpin Published: January 12 2008 00:37 | Last updated: January 12 2008 00:37 Crusaders By Richard T. Kelly Faber £14.99, 556 pages FT bookshop price: £11.51 Is Richard T. Kelly’s Crusaders the finest fiction debut of 2008? Too early to say, but there’s little doubt that this epic will feature prominently in next Christmas’s “books of the year” round-ups. Like the new Eurostar Terminus at St Pancras, this extraordinary state-of-the-nation novel manages to seem utterly of its time, despite the magnificent and unfashionable Victorian structural engineering that underpins it. The year is 1996, and John Gore, an idealistic Anglican clergyman and sometime Labour activist, returns home to “plant” a church in a poor suburb of Newcastle. Easier prayed than done.

Household Water Charges: 23 May 2007: Westminster Hall debates (TheyWorkForYou.com) I was saying that the constituents who drew to my attention the position on household water charges felt that they had received poor service from Thames Water, and that advice given to them was inaccurate and incomplete. One of the residents whose case I took up applied for a meter in May 2005 and was refused in July 2005. It was not until I took up her case in March this year that she was put on the average household charge. Her own telephone calls to Thames Water did not result in her being given clear or accurate information. Now she is on the average household charge, which saves her a bit in comparison with the water rates, but she is still paying over the odds, because the average household charge operated by Thames Water is the average of all non-business metered users and does not reflect the lower consumption that is typical of someone in her circumstances. My review of my constituent's cas...
