DID Councillor Sokhal lie about driving buses on certain lanes in Lepton
Surely there are records of bus routes.
He has denied allegations that he lied at the planning meeting.
If he did lie then he should have to resign as a councillor.
It is ludicrous that one vote allows a contentious building programme to go ahead.
Hopefully the residents will appeal to the Secretary of State over this matter.
Kirklees Council will have to follow procedures on this matter.
Most importantly, if Clr Sokhal did lie, then the whole planning committee decision cannot be accepted, or is this how the Labour-led council are now running our town?
Red Arrows flying around UK.
A month ago, many would have hoped to see two Spitfires flying for Vera Lynn’s funeral, but insufficient information was published.
No flight plan for Saturday is posted on the RAF website but surely Battle of Britain Memorial Flight and Red Arrows flight plans should always be published?
Secrecy is daft, for these display aircraft fly to be seen – taxpayers want to know about the timing of RAF entertainments!
There should be a standard, easy-to-find page on the RAF website but, presently, information is vague or non-existent (it’s nothing to do with the pandemic).
What is the point of a fly-past or display if most people miss it for lack of essential information?
Red Arrows’ pilots are being let down by some 30 serving Air Marshals and 75 Air Commodores on board our £8bn-a-year Royal Air Force.
IF your child has just received their A-Level results, or is about to discover their GCSE results, it will likely be an anxious time for them, and you.
Due to the unprecedented nature of this year, pupils haven’t been able to sit their exams – naturally, each young person will have their own reaction to this, with more than 1,100 already contacting Childline to say they felt robbed of an opportunity, or were otherwise worried about their results.
We’ve heard from many young people who said they felt overwhelmed, anxious and stressed, depressed or unable to sleep because of the worry, and it’s important that adults are around to support young people who are getting their results.
The most important thing you can do is to remind your child they’re not alone.
There are lots of places to get advice and support, including Childline, where they can discuss their anxiety and look at potential next steps.
If you know someone who didn’t do as well as they’d hoped, reassure them the results won’t determine the rest of their life.
They can speak to a guidance counsellor or careers advisor about their options – whether that’s appealing, re-sitting, going to another university or college or changing to a similar course.
The important thing is that young people should talk to someone they trust about their concerns and get advice about what to do next.
Remember, your child may find it difficult to speak to you about their results.
All you can do is be patient and supportive.
Let them know it’s okay to take some time to think about what they want to do next, and they can talk to one of our specially-trained counsellors by phoning Childline on 0800 1111 or visiting www.childline.org.uk
