At last, the latest news seems to show that austerity and local government expenditure cut backs are now history.
Hooray.
Roger Croft, the new WBC leader doesn't seem to be on message though and it has lead to a very strange headline report in today's NWN. He's even suggesting staff and further service cuts! Come on, Roger, catch up, that was yesterday.
See Page 6, all is well. At Newbury Town Council (same party, same Councillors) it's spend, spend, spend. And all for the price of a pint. I expect this represents the alcohol the NHS wants us to give up, so it's win/win.
Great to see the opposition having a lesson in the practical local politics we love in Newbury. Party Leader says they would have come up with a slightly lower budget, whilst one of his members gets into a spat trying to spend even more.
As they say, you couldn't make it up.
