“Waste of money” by Town Council

by robertpayne on 7 July, 2012

Hillside councillors have criticised Weston Town Council’s decision to spend around £4,000 on distributing a free booklet to homes across Weston which will sell advertising.

Ashcombe Wood town councillor Ray Armstrong attacked the plan at the town council meeting complaining at the waste of money, and at the fact that the council has not even used a local firm. This booklet will be using public money to compete with existing businesses in the town.

His ward colleague John Crockford-Hawley agreed and criticised the quality of the Town Council’s communications. He added that this scheme is simply throwing money down the drain.
