From the Guardian today.
This is the kind of thing that we all need to be on the lookout to protect.
It seems to me that groups of people need to get together ready to step in and fund these types of projects out of our own pockets if the government are so blind as not to see their importance.
Surely a group of one hundred people could work together and support this kind of thing.
How about starting a fund here in Ulverston - I'll put up a fair amount for starters! (Don't infer that I've got cash to spinkle around willie-nillie - I have changed my attitude to cash in recent years - I reckon I can earn some when required and don't need a lot at present)
Any takers?

We used to have a knife crime programme at school, in the 60s. It comprised respect, discipline, self control and fear of quite draconian punishment. No knife crime, no costs. Simple.
Things are probably different now. Certainly in some schools and environments.
What does it achieve if you manage to stop the kids getting their knives into school if the culture is for them to always carry a knife out of school.
It's a different problem dealing with the odd one and the situation where the odd one is the person WITHOUT a knife.
Here, I suspect this kind of program will have and impact.
Isn't it like the days when we were trying to deal with a culture of everyone smoking?
We do have a similar culture here in Ulverston and that is late night drinking. What's going on - or not going on - here is perhaps similar?
