Council Spending Questioned: Do Officials Understand Basic Budgeting?

It’s odd workers sit behind glass instead of cleaning. Netting on roofs could catch debris better. This could make cleaning easier and safer. Taxpayers fund these projects. Why ignore common sense for safety?

A stage idea failed before. It wasted money and time. An ice cream van seems silly. Current vans could serve the market square.

The central government should pay for solar panels. The UK wants green energy sources nationwide. Taxpayers should not pay extra. Solar panel installation is overdue. The council ignores responsibilities too easily.

£230k could collect rainwater. This water could irrigate hanging baskets. That money could employ toilet cleaners full-time. The sum could repair lights and chalets. The amount could also permit ice cream vendors. Vendors could repay permit fees from sales.

Toilet closures continue to be discussed. Can officials budget with simple logic? List income, costs, and grant applications. Then, review poor contracts before hiring.

Motivate employees with incentives. Require them to do their job well. Stop wasting money on useless projects. Only spend money on important safety measures.

Budgeting income and expenses is simple. The council should use community service. They can get free labor to clean toilets.

Running a council isn’t complex science. Yet, these officials make it seem so difficult.
