Council Overspend

Do they have to put that face on the website:(....TWICE

That what happens when ya got torys running it!
 
Maybe he should try doing something about the way Accrington looks rather than over-spending on rubbish, there arent many decent shops in Accrington anymore, come to think of it there arent many in Darwen either, it makes you wonder why people go out of town to go shopping doesnt it

Darwen isn't in Hyndburn :rolleyes:
 
I've been rather busy in Haltemprice and Howden so not been keeping up to date with whats going on.

All I can say is what would the overspend be if we had voted for Labour and had an unfunded 3% tax cut in addition!
 
Hats off to them.

They did incredibly well to keep this shocker underwraps until after the recent elections.
 
'Mr Pope has revealed figures showing government grants to the council had actually increased by £3m since 2002, and that this year it received a £571,000 rise.'


Frighteningly sad.

As I've said many times before (yawn,) I wouldn't trust most of the present incumbents to run a jumble sale successfully, nevermind multi-million pound bugets.:(

Talk about being blinkered!

Who's to say whether Labour would have done better or worse at budget management? Very few of the current Labour councillors were on the council seven years ago when they last had control so the current lot really haven't had the opportunity to show what they would or could do to manage the budgets.

It's always the same isn't it?

It's like people harking back to Margaret Thatcher whenever they talk about the Conservative party.....as if she's got anything to do with the Conservatives' policies today. :confused:

thats all you can say, cos you can't defend it.:rolleyes:
 
It doesn't help Labour's case though that they didn't submit a budget this year so they don't really have much of an argument.

Usually, they submit an alternative budget, that way when there is an overspend, they can point to their own and say 'well we would have spent the money this way'!
