peopled by mad men and women charged with coming up with idiot ideas to waste taxpayer's money
Their latest is 'street ambassadors'

This is the Nanny State at a local level.
Local business has no need for this trite and ineffectual PR: it needs a council fighting to save local business from the murderous impact of business rates.
RBKC collects on behalf of the Government £375 million from local business.
As a 'kickback' the Council is given £53 million.
Does any of that go back to support local business?
Not a bloody sous!
Instead, the money is used on 'projects' totally unrelated to the local economy.
Councils need to stick to their last instead of finding things to do to make itself seem relevant.
I have seen these people wandering around looking purposeless. What a crass idea. The local business community need massive business rates reduction not stupid stunts.
ReplyDeleteI know a businessman in RBKC who is still waiting for the Council to return the £100k he won on appeal over business rates
ReplyDeleteMore evidence that Hornton Street is wondering around in the wilderness. Too many Councillors, not enough to do, and too much money to spend.
ReplyDeleteAnother £1 million plus being spent at the moment to tart up the road in front of the Opera Holland Park site. Would all readers of this blog please take a walk in the park and see this profligacy for themselves
Cllr "Leader" Campbell a totally useless lump of ballast.
If I was approached by one of these guys I would run a mile.
