Just a bit of a round-up ‘mess’ today, as the examinations and work experience season begins. Remember your exam is on Friday, you should now have a copy of the revision tips in your organiser, printed revision notes to come tomorrow. Remember both are on the blog. Seems the competition is hotting up between the groups.

After discussion of the revision expectations, we summarised the Heroin Trail impact on Ilkeston

• An increasing number of addicts
• Some turn to crimes, such as prost*tution and burglary, to earn cash for a ‘fix’.
• Increased anti-social behaviour.
• Increased spending on healthcare and support for addicts.
• Increased number of police needed to tackle the anti-social behaviour and crime.
• Subsequent increase in the tax burden on the local population.
• The area is know for being a ‘crack’ town, as reported in the national press.
• Consequently, people are less likely to move or invest in the area. There could be some impact on local house prices, or out migration from the area.

Local issue two…

Tomorrow we need to get everyone up to speed on Stanton Ironworks, basically

• Why did it locate in the area?
• The positive impact it had on the community.
• The reasons for its recent decline.
• The negative impacts this will potentially have on the area.

We’ll also do some mapskills work, so I hope you were carefully observing the map today. Some nice satellite images of the site via maps live.

Some great Britishness homework, though I’m still waiting on some.    :(  Particularly liked Jack’s descriptions, gave me a couple of belly laughs….

How many can you spot from Natasha? A great set of descriptions were given as well.

Keep up the good work folks…
