Any guesses as to where the £500,000 from the sale of the Golf Club will go now that it has been decided that it won't be spent on 'leisure facilities' at Gallagher Park?

its not on

Enhanced golden handshakes for the top brass of WDC!

Had Bedders had some strong leadership about 2 million quid could have been ring fenced for investment into the area!

I think it is a bit rich, politically speaking, for "Labour" to come out with headlines like this, although par for the course. This unitary authority was their protege even if they have now lost overall control due to the fickle electorate! Reading the verbal fisticuffs which have been going on in the letters page of the NPL recently anyone would think they had been against the idea instead of pushing it through. It has also been interesting to read about the financial benefits accrued by some in this new authority while others turned up for work only to be told they didn't have jobs anymore.

The fact is that now all of our local assets are now under the direct control of a county wide authority and whilst we have always been in third place in the tripartite rat race within WDC, third place in the unitary authority will be a dream position for Bedders seeing as it is now split into several sections, thirtieth will be more like it!

Scary !!!!
