Yet more spending on busy work and vanity projects - if there's enough money in the budget to pay for new robes and regalia then there's certainly enough money to preserve the town's services for the poorest and most vulnerable. -------------------- Right an injustice - give Simon Kirby his allotment back!

Robes and regalia? That's money well spent. Not! £720k? What are they housing this cafe in? A McMansion? Do these people not understand? -------------------- Gammon. And proud!

Nearly THREE QUARTERS OF A MILLION POUNDS! On a shop that will sell ice-cream and coffee!!?
 ...and this.... QUOTE It has put by £2,500 for the mayor’s allowance, £1,000 for a ‘civic robe replacement’, £2,000 for the mayor making ceremony, £500 for ‘regalia and uniforms’ and £700 for ‘civic events’. Small change in the scheme of things but as Tesco like to point out, 'every little helps' and £6,700 on ceremonial niff-naff is a bit much.... |

Remember, it was your, or at least your neighbours vote that got use here. Has anyone let their Councillor know how they feel now?

Don't the robes and other trappings bring dignity and respect and there is the added bonus of the hordes of tourists this attracts to our country....after you with the sick bag!
