SERVICES are very poor from the District to the County Council to the police, due to in-house mismanagement and bad work practices from all three.

We should all be writing to our local MP Dr Andrew Murrison of the Westbury Constituency expressing our concerns and asking him to demand all three services bring in time and motion experts to investigate what is happening to our money. In France we would be paying at least 50 per cent less and in Spain less again.

We have seen in the private sector of industry, the final year's salary pension slashed by 50 per cent and more, and in some cases closed altogether. We 'Joe Bloggs' cannot continue to dig deeper in our pockets; we need quality of life now and in retirement. So why are we so generous to the police, the District and County (their pensions are not affected)? We are feather-bedding them all at our expense!
