Britcliffe's only get out clause is the previous Labour administration and/or that evil Graham Jones, most of the other Tory councillors actually have a reasoned argument in their heads.
We've just had a wonderful draft copy of a celebratory booklet on Area Councils which serves no practical purpose, cost heaven knows how much in man hours to produce and is riddled with very simple mistakes.
That is a prime example of 'look what I've done' without actually having any merit whatsoever. Area Councils cost this borough in the region of a quarter of a million pounds each year before a single stroke of work is done. Are you telling me that this is a good thing? Would that money not be better divvied up between the wards, allowing the councillors to simply get on with improving their area?
It's one of many fine examples of a collossal waste of money brought about by Britcliffe, one man obsessed with ultimate control.
