We elect councillors to represent us, and they should not allow the officers to lead them by the nose. Those that have been shown to have allowed this should be voted out. We need a set of councillors who will overhaul BDC and turn it into a decent, democratically run authority, not merely make a few adjustments to the status quo.Bob Kettnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2973149502277234867.post-54755645352648194052011-04-16T23:38:59.423+01:002011-04-16T23:38:59.423+01:00But Wherryman why do you think that someone who is...But Wherryman why do you think that someone who is asking for the truth should work for Broadland?

It is not a quote from Mr Proctor so the 3rd para is very misleading. Lets not sink to the levels of the gutter press please.

If you look at Broadland's financial forecast you will see that they are raiding their reserves to maintain front line services so that there are no significant cuts this year and no council tax increase. Why are they doing this why of course this happens to be the same year that the council is our for re-election! So when the grateful public return the majority of Conservative Councillors they can then make savage cuts in 2012/13. They will then use the money from the additional Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) and match funding from central government with the additional council tax from the new houses to replenish the reserves just in time for the next District Council elections in 4 years time. Cynical but simple and if I'm wrong then let someone prove me wrong!Stephen Heard, Chairman of SNUBhttp://snubcampaign.blogspot.com/2011/04/lets-be-candid.html#commentsnoreply@blogger.com
