Transport in the round at Walsall bus station
Article Abstract:
The award-winning design of Walsall bus station has transformed the area of the town and creates a modern image which blends the town square with the station in an attractive manner. The structure is open and spacious, and uses glass to shield the nearby square from ongoing bus traffic. The project cost four million pounds sterling, and is viewed as being a great success. Passenger safety is considered of paramount importance and has influenced the way buses enter and exit the complex.

It might not be someone else's fault
Article Abstract:
People have come to believe that they have a right to make a profit from investing in property, and when they fail to do so they try to attribute the blame elsewhere. They should see that the loss they have suffered is the result of their own greed, not of poor financial advice or lack of information. People must start to take more responsibility for their own actions, and should stop blaming other people for their failures.
