We lost the "all in it together" frame of mind that had been born during the second world war and became the dog-eat-dog society where 1% have 95% of the wealth and many people can’t afford to feed their children. abridge road albyns lane alderwood close alderwood drive all saints close appletree close appletree crescent ashlings farm lane avenue road back lane bakers meadow.

Britain changed irrevocably during this period and has never really recovered. Our job went from ensuring that unemployed people got the right sort and amount of benefits at the right time, to stopping as many people as possible from getting any sort of benefit at all. Please note: census information may include figures for adjacent streets and postcodes. This was when Margaret Thatcher’s government forced unemployment to rise to over 3 million (to keep wages down) and computerised records where still a thing of the future. The information on housing, people, culture, employment and education that is displayed about Alderwood Drive, Abridge, Romford, RM4 1DJ is based on the last census performed in the UK in 2011. By all accounts it was a nightmare location for staff and claimants alike.
