I do think councils waste a lot of money Vicky,for example the council in charge of the area I live, post glossy monthly magazines full of adverts etc, cardboard flyers every month about the council ,wrapped in cellophane and glossy calendars every year sent to 1000s of residents, I've noticed they have had all their vans painted with illustrations on the side,all which must cost 1000s of pounds, which is unnecessary imo,I would guess all councils do this and people I talk to are annoyed as they don't bother with repairs like they should,so ,I do think the money they have,they waste.
