"Coventry & ...Hi Mark,<BR/><BR/>Interesting article. "Coventry & Warwickshire" scores 27-29 which is fairly high on the "loneliness" index.<BR/><BR/>However, the way this number is arrived at is apparently: "a formula based on the proportion of people in an area who are single, those who live alone, the numbers in private rented accommodation and those who have lived there for less than a year". Well, I tick all those boxes (LOL!) and I feel already a part of the local community. I guess it's subjective and we get out what we put in.<BR/><BR/>I was really struck when a couple of days after I moved in a couple of my neighbours came round to introduce themselves, and another even dropped a card through the letterbox to welcome me and apologize for not being around to come over and say "hello"! That really took me aback after living in a flat in London where I barely saw my neighbours. Often it's these "little" things that make all the difference... :-)<BR/><BR/>ElizabethElizabeth Marshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06363134597242305894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9219920172857167151.post-61077902142952289682008-12-01T16:08:00.000+00:002008-12-01T16:08:00.000+00:00Elizabeth,How do Leamington score in the Community...Elizabeth,<BR/><BR/>How do Leamington score in the Community league report published today http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7755641.stm?<BR/><BR/>MarkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
