What cash? There are a handful of people in Highways trying to cope with the mounting backlog.
if there's not much work getting done then why do they need so many managers? Instant salary savings to be made .
Why does the mayor need a Jag with a private plate? More savings potential.
Why have a mayor at all? Big fat chunk saved right there.
Why waste time and money twinning with continental towns? Why all the new signs proclaiming the twinning with Ubendbergin in German? More money saved.
The traffic planners that spend millions improving a local roundabout, only to make the congestion worse than it ever was. They clearly don't knkw what they're doing, so out they go, and out go any projects they had cooking until assessed by someone with a brain cell...
Why have all the council's vans liveried up so ostentatiously? Plain white vans, simple big decal up the side, hundreds saved on each vehicle.
Why are the council squandering public money compulsory purchasing a local cul de sac full of houses, not for an essential public development but so the land can be used by developers to build modern housing (I kid ye not!)
Stop spending money on a Boris Bike type scene that no one uses. The ones outside our office haven't moved since September. More cash saved.
Why spend all the money on e-noticeboard s for the bus that we warned would be wrecked within weeks - they were. More cash potentially saved.
Why the money on speed humps t ha No one wanted, have done nothing to improve the accident rate, and then fall apart costing more money to repair so they don't get sued for damaging cars?
Seems to me there's plenty of money, millions to waste on ill considered, unwanted or downright useless rubbish. Stop forgetting it on crap and there might be some cash to fill the odd pothole.
