Peter T Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Congrats to the council. (Front Page News) However, can someone explain to me who decides what boxes need ticking, and how their is no relationship (apparently) to the real world. eg the travellers on Cartridge Lane. Perhaps the council employ an NVQ box ticker? :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeithR Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Having had a good look at the results. I was amazed at the similarity in many cases with other councils in this area, but when you consider that in most cases the questions were based on 2 options. 1 Have services deteriorated 2 Have services stayed the same or improved Surely the second option should have been split. So if everything stays the same it could be taken that they have also improved :confused: One area that stood out was the question:- The % of people within 20mins (by car, walking, cycling etc) of 3 different sports facilities and Warrington only came out with a figure of 6.5% compared to Knowsley 40% Vale Royal 52.33% Halton 35.62% Why such a big difference :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBain Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 New Town planning didn't think that sports pitches within walking distance were important - it was all done in the 1980's when car was king Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asperity Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 Keith did say by car, bike walking etc. I cannot believe the figure of 6.5% for people within 20 minutes car journey, I mean you can drive through the town in 20 minutes (on a quiet day anyway) :confused: :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 Yes, but would you pass 3 different sports facilities??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asperity Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 Who said anything about "passing" 3 different sports facilities? I would have thought that most parts of Warrington are within a 20 minute car journey from at least 3 sports facilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 Correct - "on a quiet day"! Broonfields - Woolston - Fordton: no probs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asperity Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 Well I've gone from Penketh to Manchester airport through Warrington centre (Bridge Foot et al) in less than 30 minutes. Admittedly it was by taxi, but even so it shows Warrington isn't that vast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why as Keith asked did the report state that only 6.5% of Warrington people live within 20mins of at least 3 sports facilities :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 Just had a look at the audit commission report and the exact question was % of the population that are within 20 minutes travel time (urban - walking; rural - driving) of a range of 3 different sports facility types, at least one of which has achieved a quality mark. The answer was as Keith stated 6.5%, so I'm as confused as him now. Maybe there are'nt any with a quality mark. :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asperity Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Well that would explain it, no quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter T Posted February 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Tilly, NO. I just think there is no substitute for proper training. Apart from being 2nd rate, they are expensive, as with most things these days, Even risk assessments are OTT. :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
