Immigration Down By Almost a Third

OUR REFORMS TO ENSURE THE IMMIGRATION SYSTEM WORKS IN THE NATIONAL INTEREST ARE TAKING EFFECT

Since May 2010 Conservatives have been working hard to bring immigration under control. We are reforming all the different routes of entry into the UK and the numbers are coming down as a result.

That's why I wanted to let you know about the latest encouraging figures just published by the Office for National Statistics:

Net immigration is down by almost a third since the general election - net immigration into the UK in the year ending June 2012 was 163,000, compared to 235,000 in June 2010 (the figures released just after the general election)

Visa numbers show that this trend is set to continue - the number of visas issued last year also went down, indicating that the downward trend of net immigration is set to continue

Sponsored student visas for UK universities have increased by 3% - showing that whilst we are ending the widespread abuse of student visas, we are still ensuring that our world-class universities can compete for overseas students

Today's figures show that we're cutting out abuse and making our immigration system much more robust.

We are putting a stop to the uncontrolled immigration we saw under the last Labour government and creating an immigration system which truly works in our national interest.

Home Secretary

Turner Contemporary hosts a free weekend festival: Words to be Spoken Aloud

 

Press release

Turner Contemporary hosts a free weekend festival of text inspired exhibitions and performance: Words to be Spoken Aloud
Friday 8 - Sunday 10 March

Curated by artists Ruth Beale and Nicole Bachmann Words to be Spoken Aloud brings together an array of performance, artworks and installations by established and emerging artists that explores the relationship between text and the spoken word.

Among the weekend highlights is Turner Prize nominee Fiona Banner’s new and previously unseen work 1066 (2013), an epic wall based-text to describe the Battle of Hastings. Glasgow based Sue Tompkins performs LL Bedrock (2012) a performance deriving from fragments of language gathered from everyday encounters.

On Saturday afternoon performances by Ruth Beale Performing Key Words (2013) and Anna Barham’s Slick Flection (2012) borrows its structure from the annotation of a tap dance. The tapping shoes resonate with the speech patterns of Barham’s voice creating a synchronised rhythm.

 

Louise Ashcroft, Nicole Bachmann, Anna Barham, Fionna Banner, Josie Bassett, Stefania Batoeva, Ruth Beale, Aine Belton, Anthony Burrill, Ben Cain, Lucy Condon, Toby Huddlestone,  Lucy Kelleher, Isabella Martin, Amelia Newton Whitelaw, Alun Rowlands, Peter Shenai, David Teager-Portman, Sue Tompkins, Margate Writers’ Squad.
Admission is free.

 

Words to be Spoken Aloud lineup includes:

 

Friday 8 March, 6-9pm

6pm
Amelia Newton Whitelaw
23 tapes were recently given to Newton Whitelaw by a relative. They are an audio archive of her late father’s struggle to pull back together a professional life after being sectioned. Using disjointed sentences taken from the tapes Newton Whitelaw’s performance attempts to create a transient reconnection.

 

6.15-7pm

Readings by local artists Lucy Kelleher, Lucy Condon, Aine Belton and Josie Bassett take place in the galleries.

 

7pm              
666 6
666 6 (root/park) is a collaborative project between the artists Phil Root and EP Park involving non-linear narratives. Though the multimedia performance hinges around words, Words to be Spoken Aloud tries to layer a different approach to the idea of an alternate universe which is centred around the Tunguska event of 1908.

7.30-8.15pm          
Further readings by artists Toby Huddlestone, Isabella Martin and Alun Rowlands.

 

8pm                          
Sue Tompkins
Glasgow born artist Sue Tompkins creates a performance of text, sound and installation deriving from fragments of language gathered from everyday encounters.

 

Saturday 9 March, 10am-6pm

11am-1pm              
Margate Writer's Squad
Run by writer Dean Atta, young people from our Writers’ Squad respond to the artists’ works featured in Words to be Spoken Aloud.

Performance is dependent on tide times.
Louise Ashcroft
On the beach in front of the Turner Contemporary Louise Ashcroft will write sea shanties and folk ‘work songs’ directly into Margate sands.

 

3pm                          
Ruth Beale
Ruth Beale presents a new live work Performing Keywords (2013) which enacts cultural theorist Raymond Williams' seminal book Keywords: A Vocabulary of Culture and Society. The performance has been constructed and performed with the participation of local residents.

 

4pm                          
Anna Barham
Anna Barham performs Slick Flection (2012), which borrows its structure from the annotation of a tap dance. Through substitution of the dance steps with other syllables, words are formed and reordered in such a way that their meaning is dispersed in favour of the rhythms and percussive qualities of a voice and text. 

 

Sunday 10 March, 10am-6pm

11am, 12 noon, 1pm, 2pm       
David Teager-Portman

Fiddle Player, a Eulogy for the Family is a folk song reperformed for the first time since it was initially performed 100 years ago.

 

Performance is dependent on tide times.
Louise Ashcroft See above

 

2pm – 3pm

COUNCIL IS A LIVING WAGE EMPLOYER

Thanet District Council is now eligible to become an accredited Living Wage Foundation 'Living Wage Employer' following the approval of its amended Pay Policy at Full Council last night (28 February 2013).
This means that the council is one of a number of employers leading the way in ensuring that all employees are paid at least the Living Wage which is currently set at £7.45 per hour (compared to the current minimum wage which is £6.19 per hour).
The Living Wage campaign is an example of communities, business, campaigners and faith groups coming together to find practical, non-statutory means to address working poverty and strengthen families which has now grown into a national movement.  Existing Living Wage employers have reported improved morale, lower staff turnover, reduced absenteeism, increased productivity and improved customer service.
Since 2001 the campaign has impacted over 45,000 employees and put over £210 million into the pockets of some of the lowest paid workers in the UK.
Paying the Living Wage is a recognised sign of good practice in employment.
Leader of the Council, Cllr. Clive Hart said "This is great news for Thanet and underlines the council's ongoing commitment to help to lift more local families out of working poverty. We want to encourage good people to work at the council and paying the Living Wage is not only morally right but is an investment which makes sound business sense."

Thanet Council - Sun rises on the East

Thanet is already sparkling in the economic dawn that is the East Kent Growth Strategy.
Thanet was one of the six local authorities which, in Canterbury on Thursday 14 February, agreed a new East Kent Strategy for Growth. This is a long term strategy for integrating the infrastructure and individual district investment plans of all the local authorities in the area. It provides for a joined-up and cooperative opportunity to deliver project priorities as the region forges its recovery.
East Kent is a location with real growth potential, and is now attracting an increasing level of investment and national and international interest.  Thanet is a key partner in this and its aspirations are wide ranging: even in Education the most recent figures show that Thanet is second only to Canterbury (which, after all, has two universities) in the proportion of staff working in this field.

Thanet is also second to Canterbury in the volume and spend of international visitors. Margate has been voted a top tourist destination and the specialist outlets in Margate’s Old Town have the opportunity to benefit from the extra visitors who are guided through on their way to Turner Contemporary. Ramsgate’s Marina is over-subscribed and the Port is ideally placed for servicing the London Array windfarms.

Only Tunbridge Wells, Tonbridge and Sevenoaks have a higher proportion of staff involved in real estate activity – which must say something about the amount of regeneration going on in Thanet!
Further evidence for the success of Thanet’s aspirational activity is that, amongst its East Kent partners, the employment rate in Thanet has risen from a poor starting point four years ago (63%) to match those of Swale, Dover and Shepway, at just over 70%. This bucks the trend shown by other parts of Kent where even Ashford, although still a high-flyer, has fallen back from 80% to 76% during the same period.

In the East Kent Growth Strategy there are twelve spatial priorities which are predicted to deliver up to 22,000 new jobs between them.  Furthermore, whilst Thanet is only one of six local authorities involved, a full quarter of those priorities have been earned by the district:
Margate-Cliftonville Regeneration
Ramsgate Port, Marina and Waterfront
Thanet Central Island/ Manston
Cllr Cive Hart, the Leader of Thanet District Council, said:  “The strategy is a tremendous opportunity for East Kent. It reflects and builds on how the districts are working with each other, and with KCC, to provide a joined-up approach. This structured cooperation will help to attract large scale investment.
Thoughtful integration of the county’s infrastructure and synchronisation of the enhancements of the best attributes of each district will enable us to form a whole which is even greater than the sum of its parts.  This is a long term approach to ensure the best possible outcomes for all of us. Thanet is already showing what can be done, and we look forward to providing our partners with the benefit of our experience, at the same time as learning from their successes.”

Gagging Orders

Yesterday I published on this blogsite one page of a 4 year old confidential Thanet Council report about the Ramsgate Pleasurama Development. The page I published contained no sensitive information.  I also tweeted that I was going to make the confidential report publically available. I expected a response, but perhaps not as rapidly and as strong as I got.

Frist I received this e-mail from the Council Chief Executive  Sue McGonigal

Dear Cllr Driver,

 I have asked that a meeting be arranged to discuss the issuing of papers to you, as a result of your recent breach in respect of the publication of pink papers. I will not be in a position to provide you with any of the requested documents until after this meeting. Should you require any clarification of my ability to refuse these documents to you in your role as Chairman of OSP, please contact Harvey who will be able to help.

As instructed I contacted the Council’s solicitor Mr Patterson. Mr Patterson informed me that Officers are legally required to protect the interests of Thanet Council. If officers believe that an elected  Councillor is likely to disclose information which might damage the interest of Thanet Council they can

·        Refuse to let a councillor have copies of confidential information, even though that Councillor might have a constitutional right to see this information and even though a councillor has been elected by the people to see this information.

·        Take an High Court Injunction out and seek costs against a Councillor who publishes or allows to be published information deemed to be confidential

·        Remove me, as Chairman of the Council’s Overview and Scrutiny Panel, from the Pleasurama Due Diligence Process because Council officer might believe that I may leak information which might damage the interests of the Council.

I have been summoned to the Headteachers study on Monday morning to talk about this  matter.

Like most people I cannot afford to be involved in a High Court hearing and I don’t have the time to defend myself, so it looks as though I  have no choice  but to retreat with my tail between my legs.But I would like to make the following points.

·        A major public campaign backed by 100s of Ramsgate residents  are very very concerned about Pleausurama. I believe that it is therefore in the public interest to make all documents related to this development public. After all this is public land at stake

·        The page of the document I published is almost 4 years old. Had I published the entire document the information it contained was so old and outdated that it could no longer be described as sensitive.

I find it very strange that during a week when the NHS has been taken to task by the Government, for gagging whistle blowers, Thanet Council is trying gag its own elected Councillors for trying to circulate information which is in the public interest.

It’s also very strange that when a former Leader of Thanet Council is on trial for misconduct in public office, Thanet Council wants to try to silence a Councillor who wishes to make the Council more transparent and accountable.

Is it any wonder most people in Thanet have an extremely low opinion of Thanet  Council and its councillors.

Ian Driver, Statement about Great Wall of Ramsgate

I am sad and angry about the wanton vandalism and destruction of the paintings on the Great Wall of Ramsgate.

This act of vandalism is totally indefensible and unacceptable. I hope the culprit is caught.

I have made my views about graffiti clear on my blogsite. I support graffiti as an art form and as a means of political and social comment.

I stand by these views and will not change them.

The damage to the paintings on the wall is vandalism. It is not graffiti

I do not and never have encouraged vandalism

I condemn the vandalism to the wall

I also condemn those people who have used  this terrible incident to  distract attention from the vandalism  hidden by the Great Wall of Ramsgate  - the decade old vandalism to a prime seafrontlocation know as the Pleasurama Development.

100s of people from  Ramsgate have expressed their anger about this unaccepable decade old vandalsim to their seafront.

To try to exploit this awful incident for political or other purposes is pathetic, dishonest and insulting to the people of Ramsgate.
