Council Housing for example is something we may be able to do (locally). However there are significant financial, legislative and managerial problems that are hurdles that may make them unfeasible to build.
Hopes and reality.
Free nursery care as part of work and employment welfare reform - a job for everyone.
I meant by this that parents would have a better opportunity to find work.

Isn't that just how things used to be? We had council run nurseries before they were dismantled and turned into slappers centres by the powers that be. There was also a time when council housing was provided for
proper families - or is it deemed politically uncorrect to use such a term in these so called
'enlightened' times?
I think I understand where you are coming from, and maybe there is something to be said for turning the clock back. Maybe we could reintroduce the
'Baltic Fleet' and the
'Accrington Corporation Bus Service'! Those were indeed the glory days.
