PB has stated specifically that it won't lead to an increase in our council tax which of course then gives people the impression that it isn't going to cost us anything. However, look at it logically ad you will realise that nothing in life is free, least of all the rebranding of a borough council.

So where does that leave us? Will the council renaming fairies pay for everything? Will we get a grant from central Government to cover the costs? Will PB send Gayle cap in hand to the lottery fund? Or, and I believe this to be the most likely scenario, will there be cuts left right and centre in other council expenditure and will we have to go without necessities in order to finance a whim?
