I HAVE just read the cash-strapped council ask residents for ideas on how to bridge £45m budget gap article in the Globe.

Is Wirral Council now so deluded and detached from reality that they expect us to do the job that they are paid to do?

To then have the nerve to squander our money on developing apps that will allow us to do this is staggering, yet they still find a way to put icing on the cake by offering these apps on the infamous "let's waste more money" Wirral View's website.

I can't actually remember when I last had a Wirral View delivered and had assumed it had ceased to be until I read the Globe's article.
