I READ with disgust the council's bleating about having to put up council tax by about eight per cent. They say the Government left them with a £77,000 shortfall.
Would they like to explain then why - as I understand it - they apparently spent thousands upgrading 16 flats on Wash Lane and, before the last flat was completed, the tenants received notice that they were being re-housed because the flats were being demolished?
As long as this council is allowed to screw the public for money they will continue to waste it.
