As a local councillor for 15 years, I know the importance of building better community links, and how valuable an independent voice can be. A fourth area I would pay particular attention to is education. Standards in schools are very important. There is a growing problem with a deficiency of school places, and I would put a lot of effort in to improving the provision of school places in the neighbourhood. The Internet is creating some wonderful opportunities, not just for business, but for everyone.
Some schools can even give every child internet access.
One major concern is about criminal activity and abuse generally, whether it is from hackers, people spreading viruses, paedophiles, or pornographers. There is no easy answer to this. Governments just have to keep a close watch, and to try to educate parents, schools, and adults generally in ways to avoid problems for themselves and for others, particularly the young, in this area. Chat rooms pose a particular problem - some schools are educating their pupils about the dangers of chat rooms. No national government can make any headway with these problems on its own, because it is so easy to move internet sites from one country to another.
