Whilst i am against these cuts, no-one wi any sense can say the above is justified! it just gives em ammunition.
The councils may well have overspent on the preparing for the building plan but then again nothing is free.. by axing a building plan that is badly needeed we have wasted tens of millions that was already spent... money we are told daily that we don't have.. to me that is bad business.
This mob are spending more money on finding ways to make cuts but doing nothing for the future .. nothing!
