The Council is clueless as to how it can cut its costs, so let us all give them a few tips.
No salaries to be paid to anyone which exceeds that of the basic pay of the Prime Minister.
All political publications, propaganda and spin to cease forthwith.
All literature to be published in English and English only.
If anyone needs an interpretor, let THEM pay for one.
Stop daubing paint all over the roads and streets.
No more road signs other than Welcome to........, Please drive carefully.
If motorists can't behave, throw the book at them. If they kill a pedestrian, charge them with murder. If they park on the pavement - already a criminal offence - make them pay fully for repairs to the pedestrian paths.
Make it an offence to have a dirty forecourt - public or private. A couple of hefty bills through the door will soon make you challenge the fly tipper.

Bosses there are in discussion with union leaders about reducing the working week for all staff, while employees in Blackpool have been offered voluntary redundancy, sabbaticals and unpaid leave.
Coun Simon Blackburn, leader of the labour group in Blackpool, said the council should look at how much is spent on the town's iconic Illuminations, before cutting vital roles.
Lollypops licked?
