I AM getting increasingly fed-up with all the bleating about central Government cuts being to blame for all the failings of this Labour-run council.
We all know Labour have no clue how to manage money anyway, but this council has loaned out £57m of OUR money.
Everyone who pays council tax, that is your money they have lent out. Then they charge us for taking our kids to the park for a walk, to play tennis, to enjoy nature, and blame Government for the charges.
The latest Labour councillor Jo Bird bleating about "cruel cuts" would do better to harangue the council to call in the debt and use some of that money to restore New Ferry.
We could also do with halving the amount of councillors we have.
We do not need them all and frankly, what do they actually do anyway?
The fact we pay our chief executive twice what the PM earns and pay many more employees six figure salaries is also an absolute joke.
