WE Wirral council tax payers are so fortunate. We are to receive a monthly newsletter which will no doubt detail all the wonderful things that the Labour council are doing with our hard-earned money.

We are told that not only will it cost us nothing, but will in fact save money; quite how is not explained.

Based on the appalling history of financial mismanagement in the town hall, I take that assurance with a great deal of scepticism and a ton of salt. Although the government has advised that every council should have only quarterly propaganda bulletins, our local political masters have decided otherwise.

Meanwhile, school crossing patrols are cut, respite homes and special schools closed and our litter strewn roads and pavements are a disgrace.

Never mind. We will be able to read the excuses in the monthly newsletter which will be eagerly awaited by the residents.

It was also interesting that the announcement was made by no less an exalted person than the “senior manager for communications and marketing.”

Presumably there are a number of middle and junior managers beavering away behind the scenes to communicate and market?
