Peter T Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 But the name on the deeds doesn't say Tony Mailman. Stop being pedantic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonymaillman Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Pedantic ??!! am I not allowed to reply with my own honest opinions now then ? who pays for the 'assets' that the council 'supposedly owns' then ?? you, me and everyone else who is FORCED to pay this pain of a tax ........ I think Peter you may need to look up the real meaning of pedantic, as it can be applied in several ways. Giving an honest reply that is actually true isn't - if you knew the meaning - being pedantic ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter T Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 You lost your sense of humour today? IF the Council didn't rent these buildings on our behalf, what would you prefer? (Don't they own the Town hall? :confused: ) Whilst we might not be happy with them, they are allegedly working on our behalf. And the flip side to that is that no-one questions what they do. I posed the question about Councillors not so long back, and everyone seemed happy with their output. Therefore I presume that must mean that folks are happy with WBC.

tonymaillman Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Who pays for the town hall then ????? or am I being pedantic asking that question ?? Can't you tolerate people's own opinions ?? is it because it grates to near to the bone ?? Forums are to express opinion on all kinds of subjects ......... and I'm expressing mine on this particular subject, much the same as everyone else does. What is it about my particular reply that 'touched a nerve'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky71 Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 I read the piece in the People. I thought that the sending of German offenders to a Siberian boot camp was made up. I mean, have Russia agreed to allow the transportation of German teenagers across its country. Or did they mean Siberian STYLE boot camps. To get to the root causes:- Higher the age of being able to purchase drink to 21. Very stiff penalties for offenders. Zero tolerance.

Dizzy Posted January 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 With regards to the Town Hall and other council buildings.... Do they have to charge themselves council tax/buisiness rates... If so what happens if for some reason they dont pay themselves on time The NNDR rates on the Town Hall must be enormous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cllr Paul Kenny Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 The Chief Executive has requested a 'full report' from the responsible officer into the events of Friday. Clearly, it would be inappropriate to draw any conclusions until the report is published, which I await with considerable interest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Kennedy Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Think we all await the report with considerable interest Paul. I notice Councillor Peter Walker (L/D) is the Executive Member for Finance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

observer Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Buisiness rates (assuming they are paid in this case) - go directly to central Government. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

observer Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 errrm, quite: but in effect - Buisiness rates go straight to Government (via the LA), to be distributed (a la Barnet Formula) back to LAs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Kennedy Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Originally posted by Dismayed: Obs why do you allways give me a ) It is a yes....I think. How it is valued is another matter, maybe at a substantially lower value than commercial offices. The concept of a public organisation raising taxes to pay a tax is an interesting one.
