Blair's pledge to the dark estates
Article Abstract:
UK Prime Minister Tony Blair has promised that his government will take decisive action to help those who were neglected under the previous Conservative administration. He has acknowledged that there are particular problems on housing estates, where residents are often unemployed and can feel isolated because of poor public transport facilities and because they cannot afford a telephone. He will make it a priority to bring initiatives to areas of high long-term unemployment, ensuring that those affected are reintegrated into society.
