County council budget: More charges at park and rides (From Herald Series)

• "It's not about paying for what used to be free, people have always had to pay taxes and or rates for services.
  
  What is not being scrutinised here is exactly what public monies are being spent, on whom and where....the detail not just overall figures.
  
  Breakdown of these figures is available for what is spent, and makes horrifying reading, the council need to start serious 'housekeeping' and budgeting' with public money and communicate much more to the community on this.
  
  They recently sent over £5000 clearing litter along one Lay By on the A40, yet did not repair their fence, which has resulted now in further accumulation of rubbish/litter/bottl
  es of urine and much more....... which they will have to re clear again....why not fix their fence? This may seem an insignificant amount of money, but it is also just one small area they spend public money on.............how much more could they actually save if they were a little more prudent and wiser?"
