MAY I offer a few ideas for reducing council squandering?

A 20mph speed limit through the town would ease wear and tear on roads, Croft Road is full of pot holes now.

The art gallery modern daubs could be obtained free of charge from any day nursery, proper paintings could be obtained from senior pupils, there must be some genuine artistic talent among children.

The complicated bus pass system must cost a colossal amount to administer, to say nothing of the waste of paper.

Why not give pensioners a £40 cheque or bring bus fares down to a reasonable price, it used to cost and old penny from Croft Road to the Post Office, it is now ten shillings (50p).

Alternatively give pensioners scooters or skateboards!
