I read that a Bury councillor is proposing to get rid of 17 of our councillors to save money.

Why not get rid of two thirds rather than one, after all large cities in the USA manage with only 12.

One writer last week lamented the fact that the Leader of the Council failed to show at the consultation meeting on budget cuts.

Let’s not forget that it is a long way to come out on a cold winter’s evening from Stacksteads, especially when none of the cuts will affect you.
