And it will be spent efficiently because he will make sure that it is - or stop giving.

And local politicians desperate for social approval using their office to peddle snuff.<br /><br />Pathetic and miserable.<br /><br />Cllr Campbell needs to join the real world of her residents and businesses, the people who are paying the Council Tax, and understand that her first priority is to keep them alive so that we have the taxes to pay for the schools and the elderly.
