In the early days of the programme 1997 to 2002 the New Deal programmes actively promoted job creation because they had the massive budgets to do so.
Since 2002 they have scaled back on the funding partly because of the success of the programmes, but since the start of the recession that investment hasn’t gone up again to compensate for the number of new claimants which is where the problem is.
The Government where excellent in terms of investment in the early days but now when that investment is really needed again it just isn’t happening, which is one of the reasons I have gone off the Labour Gov knowing all the investment and hard work that went in to getting the unemployment lists down when it mattered this time round when it matters again they don’t seem to care about the programmes.
The most interesting part of all this is that the main ideas for New Deal came from Gordon Brown as chancellor but now he’s PM he doesn’t seem to want to keep the good work going that he really pushed for in the first place.
