A DECISION AT LAST ON UNITARY !

I hope that this will mean that those so vigorously opposed to this will now use the same energy to support it. Daniel has yet again shown his ability to back a loser as he seems to throw himself on every passing bandwagon I suppose on the law of averages this is bound to happen but he does seem good at it!

From the Trade Union point of view those who clung to the belief that this would never happen have done nothing to help protect those staff and jobs they now hope will be protected. The rush to spend all the family silver in the District Councils will also be unhelpful. I have never liked Councillor Pate's politics but he is one of the few thinking Tories and a shrewd business man.

There is no doubt that those council tax payers in band D who stand to save £93 per year will not have been asked their opinion it does seem like a rather expensive Tory club that we cannot afford. What is often missed is that our members are Council Tax payers including myself and we also understand the frustration of the duplication in the current system. The Governments stranglehold on our pay will make any saving in overheads at home most welcome.
