The post you are reporting:
But, but, KCC lost £53,000,000!!!!! Add the Dover portion of that to the £19,000,00 and you begin to get some idea of just how our Councils are ripping off tax payers. There is no justifuication for that volume of reserves.
Finally, DDC receive interest on investmtns which get ploughed back to the tax payer? I don't think so, better they don't take the tax off us in the first place. That will make folks much happier, and some, able to pay without struggling.
Remember, Councils are there to serve US with our money, not to take more in taxation than it needs to function.
As for the Audit Commission, they are a disgrace and certainly don't look out for the tax payer. Why haven't they flagged up the inappropriate levels of public money being invested instead of being used to provide services?
Sack the lot of them and start afresh with a new set of working principles.
