And suddenly the idea of making a few extra quid from Mellors makes sense, whatever the long term cost.....
They are clearly utterly inept. Whatever party they are from.
We’ll no doubt see the parking levy being increased and rates to pay for their incompetence.
I would love to see the balance sheet of Notts County Council to ascertain exactly where it’s gone tits up. I would imagine there is a lot of money put through as ‘other expenses’ or something similar.Quote:

Although they are certainly not without fault, some of this will probably be down to Tory austerity policy.
Yet they still manage to bugger it up with panache. Over an above any austerity effect they manage to chuck near 40 million down the toilet trying to run an energy company......Quote:

The City Council is far from alone in having financial difficulties.

It never ceases to amaze me how many people still think Nottingham City Council and Nottinghamshire County Council are the same entity.Quote:

I don’t doubt it. Significantly tough times ahead.Quote:

That will all really help with the already difficult situation they are in thanks to austerity.
Unfortunately this is all a consequence of incompetence, in Nottingham’s case mostly at council level, but also at the government level.
It will the poorest who bear the greatest burden in all of this. Yet again.
Who exactly are these politicians here to serve?
