Money wasted as PCSO cuts threatened

November 24, 2009 9:13 AM
By Councillor Claire Gordon in /for publication in the Somerset County Gazette

Dear Sir

If the Tories running the County Council are so strapped for cash and making cuts in front line services why is the Chairman of the Council wasting money sending every councillor an invitation to a Carol Concert in Wells by first class post? Why couldn't the invitations just have been emailed out - much cheaper and much greener. Although it may not sound much, I am sure all the public would rather have seen the money put towards keeping PCSO's on our streets dealing with anti-social behaviour and under-age drinking. Surely the Tories should be saving all the money they can on unnecessary things like these before making swingeing cuts in front line services?

Cllr Claire Gordon
