it seems to me that sometimes counilors use OUR money as their own personal account to spend on the most stupid pointless crap they can think of
if it was their own money they were playing with i dare say they would be more carefull with it

The Council spends some £12m. Each warden costs £19,000 to employ with on costs. The Labour Party's scheme of 24 wardens will cost around £450,000. It will be a priority. £200,000 will come from removing the beauracracy within Area Councils - Area Councils will remain or modernise and operate with minimal cost. Other savings will have to found to fund the remaining gap from back office costs and other reductions in beauracracy and paperwork. Abandoning silly schemes will save money as Chav says.
The Labour Party has said the Council Tax will not go up, however residents I have spoken to have said they would want the scheme even if the only way was to put a bit extra on Council Tax. A 10% rise would be 25p per week per household and net £400,000 in receipts.
