From what I have seen many councils waste money that they could be using on housing and other maintainance , its not always the governments fault.

Such as, which council has wasted money kaz, seeing as many have had cuts to central govt funding that restricts even basic services I'd like to know where it's being wasted?

Ous wasted vast amounts on the stupid statue thing, was a mini bridge..seemed for no reason whatsoever. I have yet to meet a person who thinks it was even half decent, let alone good or money well spent! Being pulled down 2 years later as they are trying to open the market place up a bit more Meanwhile, they claim to not have money for maintaining properties right, or doing roadworks or anything. But can pay out a million quid on some stupid fake bridge thats ugly as hell

Yeah most councils have been cut to the bone. Unfortunately, some still do waste money on endless crap, rather than trying to focus it on things that are needed.

the public toilets are a strange one, generally I don't know anyone who liked to use them as there were some morons who abused the facilities and after dark they became no go areas

Our local council invested in a new fleet of buses, all pretty basic apart from the one that ferries the councillers around, which is a top of the range model

You should be grateful they've invested in your work space

That couldve been a grant? Councils get those for culture and arts and such it may have been from the EU... What's it called I'll try find out

Well ours have just had their block of offices refurbished , their fleet of vans painted with Wallace and Gromit images , they also send out thousands and thousands of glossy calendars every year most are never opened and put in the recycling, all these cost a lot of money and they are not necessary imo.
