YET again we are being saddled with extortionate Council Tax increases. Just when will these minions in the Town Hall get their sums right.

They spend money like water and again we see them advertising for people to drive this regeneration scheme ahead; what happened to the two American gentlemen who were supposed to be heavily involved.

Over the years we have seen in influx of apparently experienced people on bloated salaries brought in specifically for this purpose, yet nothing has been done.

If the councillors, who awarded themselves those increased salaries, earned this money, things might be different, there is an old saying "It's easier to keep a good name than get rid of a bad one."
