DIARY: Tyke-lipped police, in-house bingo, and Andy Robinson's weakest link

27 February 2004

Glancing through the internet, we discovered that North Yorkshire Police are very proud of their community support officers. A gruff individual in its press office, however, proved highly suspicious of this London-based magazine and its unreasonable requests for images. "If you're a national magazine, why have you come to north Yorkshire?" he demanded.

TURNING POINT: Money can't buy job satisfaction

They say a week is a long time in politics, but working with the community in Southmead, Bristol, time flies and I finds there are just not enough days in which to get things done.

OPINION: Diluting water policy a mistake

27 February 2004

OPINION: Efficiency quest need not lead to private sector

27 February 2004
