English local authorities reported to the FLYCAPTURE system (set up by the Government and Local Government Association) more than 2.6 million incidents last year, although nearly half of all the reports came from Liverpool City Council. Enforcement action by councils was up 46 per cent and there were 1,371 prosecutions, of...]]></description>

From 1 October, you have to be 18 or over to buy cigarettes and other tobacco products &ndash; and the Association says there appears to be low awareness of the change. David Kidney says he definitely gives his support, and he calls on the whole community to do the same: &ldquo;Preventing the under-age sales of tobacco should be a...]]></description>

He says the answers from Ministers demonstrate that we need to distinguish between good and bad migration: &ldquo;As the Ministers&rsquo; answers show, it is good for Britain that tourists visit Britain, students come to study here and workers come here to fill skills gaps. So:- □ In 2006, there were 32 million visits to the UK...]]></description>

Now he is able to draw attention to data on waste collection and recycling published by the Government that shows local government in a more positive light: &ldquo;Overall, the statistics for municipal waste in 2006/07 show that: □ 83 per cent of local authorities collected less household rubbish than the year before; □ 94 per cent of authorities recycled and composted more of their household waste than the previous year; and □...]]></description>
