				<title>Lets get physical ...</title>
				<link>http://www.cadenceworks.co.uk/news-views/2012/lets-get-physical</link>
				<description><![CDATA[ Cadence are getting physical this year. In addition to our policy and research services we will be running a physical space that hosts businesses and events in our HQ city - Sheffield. It is an exciting development for us, which we see as a natural next step for a business that has always emphasised the part of place in policy ... more ]]></description>

				<title>2012 and legacy</title>
				<link>http://www.cadenceworks.co.uk/news-views/2011/2012</link>
				<description><![CDATA[ If you say 2012 to many people their first thought will be of the Olympics. When we won them 7 years ago I think we all imagined that there would be a palpable sense of excitement as we approached the end of 2011, but that was in the days when we were being told the days of boom and bust were gone ... more ]]></description>

				<title>Consultation - Mayor and cuts</title>
				<link>http://www.cadenceworks.co.uk/news-views/2011/consultation-mayor-and-cuts</link>
				<description><![CDATA[ The local press in Sheffield are getting excited about the City Council spending £21K on a consultation exercise on the cuts (ideas for). The May 3rd 2012 referendum on whether to have a Mayor or not is provoking some debate too. It's a touchy subject in South Yorkshire due to Doncaster's experiences with their elected (night?) Mayors ... more ]]></description>

				<title>3 strikes and you are?</title>
				<link>http://www.cadenceworks.co.uk/news-views/2011/3-strikes-and-you-are</link>
				<description><![CDATA[ The plan tomorrow, as the schools are closed strike 1), was to take the children swimming, but the pool is closed (strike 2) too, perhaps a museum (strike 3) ... maybe not. Casting a somewhat envious eye over the whole concept of any pension at all, never mind a final salary and contemplating some cabin fever tomorrow, made us have a discussion about what this strike is really about. As with many disputes, the facts are not clear due to the liberal use of smoke and mirrors on both sides.   We decided that neither the government or unions are very convincing as they are too busy arguing against each other ... more ]]></description>

				<title>Closing the Gap, Sheffield and the Coalition</title>
				<link>http://www.cadenceworks.co.uk/news-views/2011/closing-the-gap-sheffield-and-the-coalition</link>
				<description><![CDATA[ At last! After 18 months of reading Coalition press releases that have left us feeling a little flat, today one that excites. The launch of a new 'Institute that aims to reduce health inequalities through action on the social determinants'. It's a small thing (£1m over 3 yrs), but still good to see it is on their radar. Anyone from Sheffield will have their eye caught by the 'closing the gap' phrase at it was something that Nick Clegg's Sheffield Lib Dems were firmly against in the past ... more ]]></description>

				<title>Big Society? Localism? Sustainability? And Sir Bob</title>
				<link>http://www.cadenceworks.co.uk/news-views/2011/big-society-localism-sustainability-and-sir-bob</link>
				<description><![CDATA[ It is easy to argue that the current economic crisis dwarfs all other issues at the moment. But, if the Coalition neglects its commitments to the Big Society, localism and sustainability then the consequences of the global shifts on UK life will be even harder to handle ... more ]]></description>

				<title>FIT for a purpose?</title>
				<link>http://www.cadenceworks.co.uk/news-views/2011/fit-for-a-purpose</link>
				<description><![CDATA[ Why are the governement proposing to halve the Feed in Tariff? On a day when new growth figures are released that suggest any policy that creates jobs and investment needs to be cherished, its hard, on the face of it, to fathom.

As an essentially optimistic business who tend to not go along with the idea that all decision makers/polticians are croooks and instead believe they are trying to make the UK a better place to live, this is a tough one. ... more ]]></description>

				<title>What we do ... (and why)</title>
				<link>http://www.cadenceworks.co.uk/news-views/2011/what-we-do-...-and-why</link>
				<description><![CDATA[ We are often asked 'what is it that you do'? An answer along the lines of public policy research and strategy projects can cause a number of reactions. Sometimes it results in a glazed look and no further questions or more often than not the question 'what is that you do'? is repeated.

The best  way of answering is often to talk about real projects we are involved in and usually one of the areas we mention will interest our inquisitor. Dealing with cuts, commissioning, museums (yes museums), homelessness  ... more ]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ Even the Today programme's half past the hour sports slots could not ignore the news that Mark Cavendish is now the World Champion of road cycling. Here is a man who if he were Belgian or French would be the most famous person in either of those countries. His win and the boom in cycling of all sorts is a great sporting participation success story, but the are not many others as we approach 2012 ... more ]]></description>

There is nothing more likely to bring a community together than an objection to a planning application ... more ]]></description>

For large steel works this offered an opportunity for maintenance and for us a chance to re-charge and prepare for a busy autumn ... more ]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ BBC Home Editor Mark Easton's work does not get enough attention as far as we are concerned. He consistently takes a topic and looks at it in a way that brings further understanding and probably without phone hacking. Today he is looking at localism again and how George Osbourne's pledges on lower paid public sector last year turned out not to mean that much ... more ]]></description>

				<title>Cutting off nose and getting support</title>
				<link>http://www.cadenceworks.co.uk/news-views/2011/cutting-off-nose-and-getting-support</link>
				<description><![CDATA[ If a charity closes because it loses its funding it is a bit different to a private sector supplier who loses a contract. Many third sector organisations are very dependant on a few small sources of funding and cannot survive their loss. If they have to close they are likely to be gone forever, whereas a private organisation will suffer, but probably has more of a mix of income streams to see them through tough times ... more ]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ The Communities department Eric Pickles is sticking to his guns on localism. This week he is pushing Nottingham City Council with legal action if they do not publish details of all spending over £500. People in Northamptonshire might wish he'd been so keen to keep to the localist principles in mind when he decided to approve the disposal of low grade nuclear waste in a landfill in the county ... more ]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ Ken Clarke got in a pickle with the figures about the relative benefits of community sentences and prison the other day. He still seemed to be making good points about the need for rehabilitation in prison and we hope the report in the Society Guardian caught his eye today. It talks about RAPT (Rehabilitation for Addicted Prisoners Trust) and their 'intensive, abstinence-based approach to tackling prisoners' addiction' ... more ]]></description>
