And this is a Council that spends on a grand scale. For example £100 million to rebuild Holland Park School when (according to Govt statistics) the benchmark cost of a new school is £25 million.<br /><br />Cockell's K&C is up there with Marcos, Gadafi and Mubarak.

The Councillors could not care less, they get their SRAs and know that they have to keep quiet to hold on to their hush money. Officers have to do what they are told. The Opposition is useless.

It is as absurd and out of touch as the decision in Hornton Street to deny K&C users the benefits of fast broadband because the "BT cabinets are ugly".<br /><br />Vibrant society has always embraced change to celebrate technology. When the car came we built roads. When the flush toilet came we built sewers. When the telephone came we built telegraph poles.<br /><br />But the menaces in the Cockell Administration know better. Playing with the power of dictatorship, Canute like, they decide that fast broadband is not for the muppets of K&C<br /><br />But tarting up Exhibition Rd with £5,000 dustbins looks the part.<br /><br />IdiotsWASPnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1690720220183337557.post-32074355166300598582012-06-08T18:47:23.923+01:002012-06-08T18:47:23.923+01:00can an officer spill the beans on this one?can an officer spill the beans on this one?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
