IT was gratifying to see Coun Darby celebrating the high standard of council service.

Did anyone mention Goldiggers? Why should £350,000 be used to build up Planning Enforcement Capabilities. Why not sort out No 9 London Road. It's a disgrace, likewise the ugly little box/shop situated on the corner of Chapel Lane.

Have a look at your council tax. Wiltshire County Council, Wiltshire Fire Authority per cent change non stated, Wiltshire Police Authority ten per cent increase. Turn now to Policing for Wiltshire. Try making any sense out of Paying for Your Local Police Service. All this gobbledegook equals ten per cent.
