Anyone read the header in the Newbury this week? I think Greenham would be better off without a council!

It was on front of this week's print edition of NWN - digital version goes on line Monday.
In essence, formal report says Greenham Parish Council's Control Tower Restoration Project a complete shambles, broke the usual Local Authority rules and is massively over budget. A public works board loan (or rather mortgage) will put Council heavily in hock for years to come. Parish Council response simply, oh dear, we'll try harder. If you don't live in Greenham, don't worry, if you do, you can well afford it. -------------------- Know your place!
