Why are we waiting?
'According to the Communities and Local Government department, there are eight councils in England which have not yet complied with the ministerial demand that they publish details of all items of spending over £500.'
'...they are Nottingham, Bradford, Peterborough, Epsom and Ewell, Hyndburn, Nuneaton and Bedworth, Eastbourne and Lincolnshire.' BBC - Open Secrets: Nottingham could be only council not to release spending data Well done Hyndburn Borough Council. We've made national headlines. When are we going to be able to read your butty bill? I hope you're not eating the evidence.

Re: Why are we waiting?
There's only one good thing.
The Duke of Kent doesn't know where Hyndburn is. Apparently. Small mercy. Feel the shame.

Re: Why are we waiting?
Isn't there a Freedom of Information Act which would allow citizens access to the info.? Or allow the media access?

Re: Why are we waiting?
It's something we're keen to see although for some reason it hasn't happened yet.
It's almost as if there's something to hide.

Perhaps PB's been taking accounting lessons from Don and the Cardboard King.

Nice idea, but it might be too parochial. In the past, I think in the renaming the borough thread, I suggested the much more grandiose St. Petersburg. Much showier, and impressive. Mary-ann, both inside and out. Why settle for just a temple, when you have the funds to leave an imperial city as your monument?

Re: Why are we waiting?
Sorry, just been informed, it isn't a temple.
It's an award winning market hall. Have just called the Messiah, and cancelled his forthcoming visit to drive out those few still left inside, involved in buying and selling.
