Play area cash could have been better spent
Instead of repairing the roads and pavements, street-lighting, blocked drains, etc., it is spending the cash on building a new children's play area.
And where are they building it? Right next door to the existing children's play area in Victoria Park.

Our elected councillors we can deal with when next polling day arrives.
But what about the unelected and unaccountable Town Hall jobsworths enjoying their inflated salaries, job security and index-linked pensions who are responsible for this crass waste of our money?
