Diary: Beatle abode brought down, bricks with body, and an elusive Bishop

16 April 2004

We all knew that housing market renewal was going to be a tough, involving sacrifices, unsentimental decision-making and hardened hearts, but even jaded Diary shed a tear last week upon hearing what the callous Liverpool bulldozers are planning.

Turning point: New career as a protesting parent

16 April 2004

There was no question of me not returning to work when I found myself pregnant, 14 years after the birth of my last child. I was in a good, high-profile job in the City with my career mapped out for the foreseeable future. Yes, I would be back after my maternity leave, I said, thinking that surely 14 years on, childcare facilities would make it much easier for me to return to work.

Opinion: Editorial - Shift in tone over local consultation is no bad thing

16 April 2004

The Bishop of Liverpool's concerns that the Government is preparing to water down its commitment to community-led regeneration will not have been put to rest by the reassurances made by Lord Rooker this week (see News, p4).

Opinion: The situation is not to my liking

16 April 2004

You lot may be surprised to hear this, but I used to be a bit of radical when young. You know, the type who thought Lenin was a bourgeois revisionist. Yes, I had a beard and yes, canaries did nest in it. But things change. I was first reminded of this in one of those leftist bookshops, which now thankfully have been replaced with shops selling lifestyle products, usually run by the same owners as before.

There's currently much talk about social capital: the trust and shared values that help societies to function effectively. At a Foreign Policy Centre seminar, leading international practitioners and thinkers discussed how trust can be maintained as social and international mobility increases.

Opinion: Census work figures are too vital for secrecy

16 April 2004

Buried deep in an online press release from the Office of National Statistics is a very quiet announcement that will blow a huge hole in any future attempt by any of us to make serious sense of what's happening in our cities and towns. In it, ONS says that to preserve confidentiality, it has cancelled plans to publish tables on the occupational composition or industrial employment structure of the local workforce. Put simply, henceforth no-one - city officials, academics or government researchers - will be able to get detailed, accurate information on what's happening to the economies of our cities. That may sound over the top. Far from it: since 1921 - for statistics about employment - the ten-year census has been the basic source for our understanding of local economic change. Over the years, other sources - issued at more frequent intervals and so providing useful data in the long gap between censuses - have come to supplement it. But they're just that: supplemental.
