  1. You know whats is amazing? I am migrant to the UK, i work for a council and i love my job. I want councils to be well, ran well and serve the public well. It's a pride in ones own serviceand work sort of attitude. Despite not being British, i get a lot of heart-felt joy from seeing the success than councils had, and frustration due to their decline caused mainly by ignorance of those who could do things - but didn't ask whrther they should or why for yhe long term. Also.... The rules regarding behaviour used to be very harsh to the point that they would not be seen as acceptable by most of the public. They would be seen as very right wing policies. Even the idea of having certain estates with clear and steicter rules and some without (like now) is percieved as segregation and far right idea. Yet, it works, and it doesn't have to be based on gender, race, religion, age or sexuality. Simply work or a history of behaviour. I am a lefty. Gay, migrant, work in public sector and i want things sustainable. I am not afraid of certain harsher policies if they are carefully implemented. I believe that councils should have a way to limit who they give housing to, and where. This is jot possible because of the severe shortages on all fronts - but ideally there would be estates that are well, mid and thise who are for necessity. A form of a ladder where ine can aim to climb socially in-between. Thought careful as this may create economic black holes in areas of depravity - so each such estate would need it's own specific amenities and services to supprt it. A well of estate might need a school, a park and a gp surgery or a shop... Meanwhile a "routger" estate should have directly amenities addressing education suport, financial learning, clubs for kids to help them not be anchored by their parents (if their parents aren't good enough)
