Yellow Bear Posted October 27, 2023 Report Share Posted October 27, 2023 Look at the make up of the councils involved to answer your question. Usually non jobs for relatives and vanity projects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbie to this Posted October 27, 2023 Report Share Posted October 27, 2023 (edited) MPs, Councillors and civil servants are good at wasting tax payer's money. Forgot to add mayors, but they will all also find other ways to rob you as well, and waste that money. Heard on the radio that most councils have not submitted any accounts, something they are required to do by law.

Gordon R Posted October 27, 2023 Report Share Posted October 27, 2023 Well done the Northern Irish Councils, but all councils should be on time with accounts. The money is not theirs and when accounts aren't forthcoming, I tend to suspect fraud. The woke renaming of streets has to be up there with the most stupid expenditure, Right alongside Bolton with the shortest cycle lane in the country. I did see a very short cycle lane a couple of weeks ago, with its own set of traffic lights - an accident waiting to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

armsid Posted October 28, 2023 Report Share Posted October 28, 2023 If someone busts a company for what ever reason they are usually barred from running a company or involved from being a director or in jail if fraud has been commited and until council bosses are held properly to account along with big business bosses these people will just carry on wasting our money with impunity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discobob Posted October 28, 2023 Report Share Posted October 28, 2023 Apparently councils are now incorporated organisations and are not public bodies… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
