Can CBC do anything right, I wouldn't trust them with a bat n ball at present. Come on Reid pull your finger out before this once great Town dies on it's arse !
What has Jamie Reed got to do with CBC?
Erm he is the local MP so quite alot.
So he can dictate policy to a locally elected council?
Anyhow, not wanting to get into an arguement about that point now.
The full article is not out until tomorrow but it needs to be pointed out that both the Civic Hall and Sports Centre are ran by a company called North Country Leisure and so I don't think it will be a simple matter of CBC saying "right, you two are both now closed".
As this will be my last post tonight I would like to also ask "where has the money (albeit a ever decresing amount) gone?". Well we all know that CBC has squandered a hefty amount over their involvement with WRLFC and over the stadium fiasco. They have kept business rates high for the town centre, and so must be gettign next to nothing in now! Also a lot of the money that comes in from nuclear / Energy Coast goes straight back out again - for instance, the annual Festival, which as time goes by does less and less for the town but does give those that 'donate' this ultimately public money a couple of days jolly down by the harbourside.
My final point is that these professional executives at CBC are now being asked to manage, what, half? of their workload than in recent years. Perhaps they should be paid half as much - though, to be honest - I wouldn't pay them a penny, the job they are doing. Though it has to be said, let's wait and see what other councils do over the next six months or so before we decide just how incompetent CBC truly are.
Finally, I take the point from those in Millom, Egremont, etc, that Copeland is not just Whitehaven you know!
