If I were a cynic. "What? No. Never!" I hear you shout. And I must agree with you, but let us, for the sake of argument, pretend that I was. As a cynic I would say that if anyone were looking for a reason why there was not enough money to remove the Christmas Illuminations one need look no futher than the recent increase in councillors remuneration. What was it, a twenty six percent increase in allowances? Coming at a time when our glorious leader-ette is wailing and gnashing his teeth over how strapped for cash the borough is, it stikes me as somehow slightly less than convincing.

Its me me me with the council and sod the rest of the public. Pity they cant put the same effort into the bourgh as they do in themselves. End result lights still about unfilled shops a dying market etc etc etc.
