Comment on: ALMO secures top marks in inspection
Why do we always have to try to find negative comments on every single article? The story is commenting on an ALMO providing the best service possible and yet someone still wants to have a whinge. And its always the same person- who is this Anonymous?
Come on people- lets start working with organisations rather than against them. If there's an issue and you take umbrage with it, then do something about it. If all the negative energy in these comments was actually put into positive action, then maybe we'd be in a better position. But its much easier to have a moan, with a hidden identity and wait for someone else to pick up the pieces I suppose.
And now you've got me whinging!!! -
Comment on: Anti-social behaviour reform threatens ASBOs
I agree that Teresa May is right to try and remove the bureaucracy of the previous regime, but will only be convinced once I see what that will look like. Focussing on the end punishment for ASB has been proven time and time again to not resolve the issue, and that we need to be focussing our attention (and what little funds are available) on tackling the root cause. If the focus is on the punishment - i.e. ASBO/ASBI/CRASBO/jail sentence or whatever term is used then we'll never get it right. With less money available, lets not keep re-hashing the same old ideas and look at new, innovative solutions to a hugely important issue.

Posted in: Relocation of RMV Contractor to own offices
Now, now children, I can't help thinking that most of these threads aren't really getting to the crux of Steve's original question. Lets draw a line under the squablings and offer genuine insight to a question that many organisations are asking.
My personal viewpoint is that closer working partnerships are the best way of still being able to provide the right level of service whilst under increasing financial difficulties.
The key is getting it right and getting someone in who is either not involved with this side of the business or even an interim who has delivered this successfully before, can save you a lot in the long run. Sometimes it is difficult to see the wood for the trees if you are too close to it. The cost of getting it wrong far outweighs the inital outlay. And I appreciate Kass' point about relationships being too close could lead to collusion, but equally, an open and frank relationship between the two companies could mean better service from the outset which could mean that complaints will be much less frequent anyway!
