Money cant be spirited out of thin air. Rateable income collected is not kept in ‘thin air’. I have a distaste for certain internet descriptions of folk, ‘TROLL’ wins this by a long mile.

I was at the Council during their first period in office and they were poor at making decisions.  You can have some sympathy because they hadn't been in power in recent times, so weren't used to it. It appeared they didn't want to make a decision that might lose them any votes, so they just put it off, often asking for more "consultation" to be carried out, when it had already been done and results reported to them. This resulted in a period of around 18 months when nothing much was happening and the public were getting frustrated with them. It improved a bit after that, but I think the damage had been done and they were voted out at next election.  Second time, I wasn't working there but old colleagues said that they didn't have the same level of problems.  There is a bit of difference in emphasis between them in transport matters, but in my view, overall there wasn't much difference in end product. I didn't see any significant differences elsewhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
