Standards dropped in all areas and their hands are tied. Council taxes keep going up yet there are cuts in services from what was meant to be the best way to run a council. Unitary hasnt worked here why should it be different down there. If people think there is an ego issue in HBC believe me it will get worse we have 2 councillor brothers with more power than the Provest. Poll tax started in Scotland failed so tried in England were it failed. Now they are trying it on with the councils. Where will it end?

Am in total agreement with your comments, what has happened up there must serve as a warning to all down here, the HBC debts they talk of are debts from when HBC was first formed.
