General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

The problem is simple Franny....money and the fact there is not enough to keep everyone in the Borough sweet and give them what they want. Different depts get different budgets, how its spent is up to various heads and if leisure want to spend their money on statues its up to them. The actual cost of them was a tiny fraction of a percentage of their budget with some costs coming from lottery funding and just because you dont like them does it mean everyone in the borough doesnt like them.....what would you have liked to have seen instead and why??
Unfortunately workers want higher wages, material costs and overheads increase, yet no-one wants more to pay tax to fund it all.....well the cash has to come from somewhere and if its not there cutbacks have to made elsewhere. Its how the MBC works and how the cookie crumbles.

If you dont agree with it or have any complaints on how funds are allocated they should be addressed to Peter Smith or your local councilor.....not me.
