I agree on both of the above points but it is not relative here. That is National Government, this thread is about a local Council blunder not national.
I think it is a good example of what is wrong with Councils (and Councillors - not all of course). People (Councillors) who know very little (probably nothing often) about a subject deciding on what we need and spending 100's of thousands of pounds on it. What qualifications do these local politician's have to make these life changing decisions on our behalf?
If you had a business would you allow just anybody to run it for you? Would you heck as like. You would select someone with the experience and skills required for the job. When we vote for Councillors do we ever look into their background to decide if they could run the Borough as it should be? Most people either just vote for the person of a certain political party or whoever has the best leaflet at the time. What a sad way to put people into power so they can spend millions of pounds a year of our money.
Ok rant over.

£591,000 and the site is shut down after 12 months. There is none of the money left. Members on this site are right, its a scandal.

So what will happen about this Graham?
