I AM concerned that many people in Wirral are misdirecting their anger.
They have every right to be furious.
The charges and changes to council services designed to save money will be inconvenient and leave some people worse off.
But it is not the council who are to blame.
It is this Conservative Government that has cut the budget of so many local councils which is to blame.
The pain we will feel here is the Government’s fault, not the local council's and it's surely time to offer some support to the councillors and council staff who are working so hard to try and save the people of Wirral from the worst effects of an 80 per cent cut in our local budget.
When you think about the enormity of the budget cuts from this government, then it's amazing Wirral Council still manages to light any of our streets or empty our bins at all.
