If you were in charge, what would be the three things you would do?

My first thought would be to echo cherrytree's car crushing for people who park selfishly - people who Park on the zebra crossings in our village could be crushed inside their cars.

I agree with all of the above and I would add to that prosecution of people who hang dog poo in bags from bushes on country walks, removal of religious restrictions on safe, simple contraception in places where children go hungry or live on rubbish tips and more common sense and truth in politics.

Introduce new higher bands of council tax
Keep haulage lorries off minor roads

Triply endorse suggestions for abolition of faith schools

I would like to make it compulsory that every Council makes sure that there is shelter for all homeless people every night once the temperature’s get below 10C. The shelters could be Council run or have a charity organise it.
To make a hot meal available too would be good. Too many spending these cold nights outside.

Young people should be given safe shelter all the time to keep them safe and also help to get their lives back on track.

Interesting post.

I’d ensure accessibility was not an option but a necessity for all shops . So no wide aisles clogged up with freestanding units so you can’t move.

I’d employ more social workers so no child falls through the cracks.

I’d impose stronger sentencing for crimes such as rape , murder and paedophilic .

Lucky I’m not in charge I guess lol

Sorry got carried away, forgot it was only 3 things.

So many things, longer sentences for child and animal cruelty perpetrators.
Stop discrimination against people with any sort of disability
Litter cleaning for drivers who throw bottles of urine out of their vehicle windows.
Sport to have its own channel so regular programmes are not moved.

I’d ban So called ‘professional dog walkers’ who open their van doors and let six dogs out, none on lead. Not even an experienced dog trainer can safely handle that, much less pick up after the Dogs.
Ensure that all children are given a good education in smaller classes, with emphasis on the arts and creativity as well as maths and sciences.
Stop the growth of academies, free schools and faith schools that don’t follow my new national curriculum (see above). In fact if I can, id close the lot and reinforce and ensure consistently high standards in l. A schools

All over grown Spiked bushes especially those that stick out across pavements at eye height of children = Removed forthwith.

Cars parked on Pavements forcing people with pushchairs on to the road = Instant ban
Car crushed

Fly tipping and litter = hard labour

Ban BBC from showing Rugby and Football on both BBc1 and BBC2 straight after each other and just showing repeats on whatever is the other channel. Unfair on most women!

Following on from my furious comments about religious schools and my wish that they would be abolished, I thought perhaps we could all detail things we would do/laws we would make/outlaw if we were to be in charge. Needn't be 3 things, but no more please. My first would be, predictably, abolition of faith schools and all schools which only accept pupils of a certain religion. My other two will need narrowing down from a multitude grin. What would be your choices? Can be serious or not.
