What will the Conservatives do about the CSA & the companies that exploit the CSA loopholes.
If an Ex-partner is assesed as owing Childmaintenance & then the maintenance is stopped from thier wages, the Company they work for is allowed to keep that money for up to 4 weeks before sending it through to the cSA to then be sent onto the children it is meant for. Some companies are exploiting this by earning whacking great interest payments on the childrens money. This also means some children have to wait up to 9 weeks for their maintenance. (I am saying the children have to wait,because ex-partners forget that this is who this money is for... it is for the up-keep of the children ie: clothing, food, heating etc. All things that ex-partners usually choose to forget about!). The CSA needs to be able to force companies to send the money over immediately! Stop penalising the children involved. The 4 weeks worth of interest each month for these companies is atrocious! How can this be allowed to continue!

What will David do about the non elected quangos known as The West Northampton Development Corporation (WNDC) and the East Midlands Development Corporation?

These two quangos are there to deliver Gordon Browns growth agenda on Northamptonshire and yet there is no Government funding for infrastructure be it strategic or local to support the numbers of people who will come to live in the flats and houses they are building.

WNDC are proposing to place a roof tax on developers of £20.000.00 which I know goes on the price of the dwelling built. The developers are then asked to provide 35% social housing and local amenities such as a primary school, a few swings and slides and if you are lucky a health centre and community centre and a few shops.

No addition monies in the Primary Care Trust, so the exiting doctors, nurses and staff are over worked, over stretched to the point were new residents straggly to get on a doctors list or a dentist. The primary school is over subscribes from the start as the calculation for places is pre 1998 and the highways data is in the same state.

We in Northamptonshire need these quangos stopped before they destroy this rural market town area, we can develop it are selves we have the vision just not the backing of the Government.
