Re: Last Nights Council Meeting
We also proposede a new dog warden but evidently Peter Britcliffe and the rest of his gang are the only people in the borough who don't think we need one. We're knee deep in dog crap !!!

I think you are right. We are just not used to having many people sat up in the gallery.

Re: Last Nights Council Meeting
The blue bags are errrrm, not very good, the collectors lose half the contents down the street and dont bother to pick it back up, then throw the bag into the garden, so you can collect it from the fence, or never see it again, depending how strong the wind is!

I think we could manage a brew, without having to resort to a supplementary rate demand.

Re: Last Nights Council Meeting
Will keep you to that BD when I go next.
Seriously though, why should tea and biscuits be provided, the issue is a budget to save money surely? If Labour councillors can make do with water, so can I.

Do you mean tap water or bottled water?
A cup of tea may save taxpayers money if you opt for the latter?

Re: Last Nights Council Meeting
Wouldn't expect to go to a meeting and expect to be fed and watered at the tax payers expense

Re: Last Nights Council Meeting
