Talk:Sedgley

Ongoings is not a noun

Community Spirit

"Much interest is drawn from the 'little England' attitude from locals - there are still strong rural sensibilities, as well as a lack of traditional aptitude for further or higher education. The Ellowes Hall Foundation School serves much of the population of the area for secondary education, the insular nature of the community might well explain the poor perfomance of the school in connection with the relevant affluence of the area."

What?! Much interest? Where? This is an encyclopedia - it should contain facts and references. "might well explain"? Either it does or it doesn't (it doesn't) - this isn't some kind of personal notebook. This poor performance of Ellowes Hall is probably due to poor management of the school, rather than the 'insular nature' that you suggest, but I'm merely guessing. I suggest you look up weasel words. --D.elwell 21:49, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"In terms of the future, Dudley borough's growing population, as well as planned transport/light rail links to the booming Birmingham, east of the borough, will no doubt increase Sedgley's status as a commuter town, rather than an 'overgrown village'.""

This is simply not true. There are no light-rail links planned in the Sedgley area - the only light-rail link planned in the Midlands is an extension of the Midland Metro from Wednesdbury to Brierley Hill (and a small extension in Birmingham City Centre). If you know different, supply references. --D.elwell 21:49, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
