i still cant for the life of me understand why multi million pound budgets are put in the hands of people with no experience of handling money,i for one would at least expect somone in control of a multi million pound budget to have a degree in buisness management instead of joe blogs been given millions and wished the best of luck in spending it

mind you accringtons very own one way system was designed by a man who didnt even have a driving licence which one would expect the bare minmum for somone to have when designing a road network

councils shoud be scrapped and everything ran from central govenment , that way every district would follow teh same guidelines and rules

Are you some kind of masochist, run by the Government

you also have the answer in your own hands really, have a go yourself. Councillors have to work within financial constraints and can't just spend money willy nilly, there spending plans have to be tested and affordable irrespective of who's in political control, plus ll councils are governed by standing orders or rules and regulations as you call them. I would be interested to know who you think the man was who designed the one way system?

My friend at Uni is one of those freaks who drive around taking photographs of roads and commenting on them. We drove all the way up to Glasgow the other week just to take pictures of a road, it was ridiculous. Apparently he's been quoted somewhere as a leading authority of roads in the north west but don't quote me on it

not sure where the source is. He is a complete nerd though.

And that is completely irrelevant but this is my thread and I will do as I please. Ho-hum

A bloke in the pub told me his girlfriends best friends brother said that his mum knows for a fact that when your a council worker you get to leave your brains at the door, along with your coat.

A bit like supermarket customers

EDIT: I can't remember his name or the pub
