November 12, 201510 yr It's good to see that, despite having a heavy workload as PM, David Cameron has found time to represent his constituents by writing to Oxfordshire County Council to complain about the service cuts after his government has reduced their funding by 36%.

That's a bit like Heinrich Himmler complaining about the air quality over Auschwitz
November 12, 201510 yr Is it his fault if the council are spunking all their money on holidays for tearaway kids and bone idle staff or overpaid execs?
November 12, 201510 yr Is it his fault if the council are spunking all their money on holidays for tearaway kids and bone idle staff or overpaid execs? A big if! Anyway they won't have tearaway kids in his constituency
November 12, 201510 yr I don't know what the problem is. As the MP for that constituency, he's only doing his job in responding to what his constituents want - if he agrees with it or not is irrelevant, it's his job Anyway, their money has been cut....so has everybody elses, they just need to get on with it.......or should we just give all County Councils as much money as they want?
November 12, 201510 yr A big if! Anyway they won't have tearaway kids in his constituency So, are Bolton's problems all of DC's creation or are they not a total and utter fucking mess irrespective?
November 12, 201510 yr So, are Bolton's problems all of DC's creation or are they not a total and utter fucking mess irrespective? who's the cunt who's just left who was on 200k? Like fuck he was worth that whatever his job was,
November 12, 201510 yr By the way, Malcolm, I didn't have you down as a yoghurt knitting cardigan wearing mung bean salad eater. A little part of me is now in mourning Edited November 12, 201510 yr by no balls
November 12, 201510 yr who's the cunt who's just left who was on 200k? Like fuck he was worth that whatever his job was, so they were on around £60K more a year than the Prime MInister?!?!?
November 12, 201510 yr so they were on around £60K more a year than the Prime MInister?!?!? someone get the link, please.
November 12, 201510 yr So, are Bolton's problems all of DC's creation or are they not a total and utter fucking mess irrespective? Think we all know the answer to that. Witnessed inefficiencies my self and always said they could do as much with less. Thirty odd percent cut is still going to hurt any organisation though, and in itself is no guarantee of improved efficiencies. Indeed they may become an excuse for them.
November 12, 201510 yr Going back to Oxford County Council, weren't they told to flog some property that they had a surplus of as well, which would more than make up for cuts they have received? - Don't know how true this is, just heard some dullard on the radio wittering on about it I'm not sure what a property "surplus" is in County Council terms - presumably buildings that aren't being used, or are being grossly underused

November 12, 201510 yr someone get the link, please. Apologies. £160k http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/chief-executive-bolton-council-resigns-10407771
November 13, 201510 yr Apologies. £160k http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/chief-executive-bolton-council-resigns-10407771 You were right first time NB. A FOI request showed that although Sean Harris (this guy's predecessor) official salary was £160,000 with extras like pension etc he was paid £200,000.

A FOI request showed that although Sean Harris (this guy's predecessor) official salary was £160,000 with extras like pension etc he was paid £200,000. I thought I'd not plucked that figure from the air. Thanks Edited November 13, 201510 yr by no balls
November 13, 201510 yr Sean Harris, listened to his opening address upon his appointment. Tedious and completely non-inspirational. Don't know what this last chap was like, but they ought to get someone decent for that salary though
November 13, 201510 yr Decent? Fucking hell, they're on more than the bloke that runs the country! I know it's nothing to do with it......but Rooney earns that in a week
November 13, 201510 yr I know it's nothing to do with it......but Rooney earns that in a week World's gone mad
November 13, 201510 yr Bolton is trying to cram as many departments into the town hall as possible with less desks than staff This is so they can sell the wellsprings, paderborn house etc.(no idea who wants these neglected 80's office buildings) Same thing that happened in Thatchers era when the council sold the market place etc. Not sure how the council is going to make up the short falls the year after they've managed to find some sap to buy the buildings to cover that years short fall. So the market hall/place was sold due to thatchers policies? Never knew that. I'm guessing that then led indirectly to the monstrosity the market hall became when they changed it then?
November 13, 201510 yr So the market hall/place was sold due to thatchers policies? Never knew that. I'm guessing that then led indirectly to the monstrosity the market hall became when they changed it then?Pretty much. Oh and it's Sean Harriss with 2 esses for some reason
November 13, 201510 yr Pretty much. Oh and it's Sean Harriss with 2 esses for some reason So how did you find him?
