Street Cruizer Youth Bus launched
The new Street Cruizer youth bus was launched last Friday 25 February 2011 at 1pm. This was made possible by Tunbridge Wells Borough Council and the Kent Youth Service. It took place outside the Town Hall, Royal Tunbridge Wells, with the Mayor of Tunbridge Wells, Cllr David Jukes witnessing the event.
Tunbridge Wells Borough Council maintains and owns the Street Cruizer bus, in replacement of their old bus that just retired. The attainment and refurbishment of the Street Cruizer bus has been financed by the Kent County Council Youth Capital Fund. People from all throughout the borough passed a funding request and presented their application to a panel of judges. They were granted £120,000 and have given the young people of Tunbridge Wells with a ‘mobile youth club’. In the bus they will discover all the most recent gadgets and games, laptops, LCD TVs, Playstation and Wii consoles and set up sound systems. It has a small kitchen, a consultation room for health, a media and/or chillout room, and also a ‘nail bar’.
Cllr David Jukes, The Mayor, expressed gratitude towards Tunbridge Wells Borough Council, KCC, the Kent Youth Service and South East Coachworks for their participation in getting the bus all set for action.
He said that he would like to thank the young people who put in a great effort to secure the funding for the new bus. They have ensured that in the future young people across the Borough will continue to have access to a superb mobile youth facility, equipped to the highest of standards.
A schedule of the bus’s whereabouts can be found on the Communities and Health Facebook page.
The trend for online information requests increases rapidly as the Information Age unfolds. Due to the Big Bang of Electronic Publishing, the World Wide Web shows us information in more forms than is humanly possible to digest. Many news articles report that Websites around the world comprises approximately 1,000,000,000,000 Web pages and that this corpus increases amounting to one billion Web documents in 24 hours. While a vast amount of Web pages is lost if big services fail (two examples include GeoCities and Vox), online information storage continues to increase methodically.
