Wirral Council Tax - higher bills for less services

The unholy Labour Liberal alliance encamped at Wallasey Town Hall have proposed a 3.5% increase in the Council Tax for Wirral households.

This is on top of £13.5 million cut in services being imposed on the Borough.Despite this the Labour and Liberal Councillors voted for an increase in their own Allowances bringing the total payable to our elected representatives to well over £800,000!

How can this be correct when there are over 100 staff of WBC facing redundancy?

For those who have never seen a Council report before a quick tip :- “efficiency savings” = cut in staffing or services

A McDiploma and a quarter of Jelly Babies please! And no I don’t want to go large!

My local MP Stephen Hesford has had a story published in one of the local newspapers deriding supermarkets for selling sweets and causing childhood obesity!

This from a man whom took hospitality from McDonalds for the World Cup in Germany! I think he is entitled to the first McDiploma in “Spin”!
