Okay, so let's sum up the suggestions put forward so far on Accy Web to meet the Council's savings target:-
a) Stop the lunchtime butties, saving , say, £5,000 a year,
b) Pay the illustrious Leader zilch, saving £43,000 a year,
c) Pawn the Leaders Medal, getting, say £50?, (is there VAT on that????)
d) Abolish Christmas in Hyndburn, saving £9,000,
e) Don't employ celebrity chefs, saving another £9,000,
f) BUT Reopen Peel Street Toilets, costing £10,000
A grand NET total of £56,050.
Job Done, and Everybody Happy.
Hold on, though. There is the little matter of a further £2,543,950 to be saved THIS YEAR alone, plus more next year.
Thinking Caps on again, it seems!
