plus £300,000 a year saving: what's not to like?
It's high time those suggesting these figures should be held accountable. And when the savings don't materialise (because they won't!) they should be held for malfeasance in public office and face doing time for misleading (lying to) the general public.
Get a political party to put that in their manifesto and you have the UK political system sewn up for years to come.
I ts time all councils were accountable for every penny. Businesses have to do it , so why not them.
From money gleaned from developments, the extortionate cost for getting plans passed. handouts for permission for building student homes money-its not done for nothing, and rents from these. in fact everything which goes both in and out. Car parking, parking fines and hundreds of other costs too numerous to mention.Oh , and all grants received.
We'd find there is enough money to do everything without all these 'cuts' dreamed up every other week.
This would include grants, so that the public could keep tabs onhow it is spent.
How many grants has the council received for roads and pavements and lighting over the past ten years or so? What has it been used for?
We need to know exactly where the money comes from and where it goes.
Perhaps every two years would be kinder knowing how slow they are.
And--everyone should be able to receive a copy.People work hard to keep their homes going and pay for the services.
I d like to see how my money is spent.
