WHAT a good way to get our council workers to become more efficient and save money, threaten them with the sack.
Mike Bawden and his cohorts on the council need to start looking at themselves.
For many years the residents of Swindon have had appalling performances from our representatives, whether it be from new Labour, led by Kevin Small (now replaced) or Mike Bawden and his Conservative "let's cut services" team.
Our elected councillors receive more than £5,000 a year before attending one meeting and then very considerable expenses.
Perhaps they can donate their £5,000 plus back to be used to benefit the community and then fight Central Government for more money to provide the funding our services need.
