FOR too long now, our council has lagged behind others when it comes to getting a share of state funds.
But at long last, it appears the Government is listening. It is reviewing the funding formula which decides how much money councils are allotted. And coupled with yesterday's pledge from Chancellor Gordon Brown's of more funding for public services, the council's financial position appears considerably healthier.
Let's hope that we are not disappointed when the final figures are decided.
