observer Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 See the local Labour opposition on the Council are queuing up to criticise the ConDem Council for "the cuts", plus the ever present sniping from Mrs Vobe - it's quite surreal that the Party that spent it's way into so much debt, are now criticising those who have to deal with it. Wonder if the voters will have such short memories too?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Obs is refering to our front page story - you would have thought he would have known how to put a link by now! http://www.warrington-worldwide.co.uk/articles/9269/1/Council-faces-barrage-of-questions/Page1.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Obs never puts links as he likes to make us all search news pages to figure out what he's talking about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter T Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Perhaps he knows the value of the news page and expects that everyone reads it before coming on to the Forum. He is correct. It shouldn't need a link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 I always read the news pages on here first... doesn't everyone I was refering to Obs' other posts where we have to search the nationals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vic Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 The issue is whether the ConDem executive really has a grip on things or whether it's slash and burn without thinking where savings can be made. Exec members don't always seem on top of their portfolio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Exec members don't always seem on top of their portfolio. On top ?? The term 'sitting on their backsides' suddenly springs to mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted October 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 "on top"? Ideas and ingenuity require imagination, not usually something associated with local polititians reliant on their officers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter T Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 Not a requirement when an officers lackey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disgusted Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 The issue is whether the ConDem executive really has a grip on things or whether it's slash and burn without thinking where savings can be made. Exec members don't always seem on top of their portfolio.Of course they don't. Prime example is the needless widening of the pavement (by a foot) from Great Sankey HS to Burtonwood Rd roundabout, that has taken a number of weeks, and must have cost multiple thouasands to do. Utter disgrace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazj Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 But FS, that will be so they can tick the box of some more bike lanes because it is guaranteed that will be the next thing; the white line bike lanes along the whole run. To service bikes that don't use the route I guess! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To service bikes that don't use the route I guess! Oh I'm fuylly aware of why it's there Baz. It's funny, but even the bicycling nutter in chief says that bike lanes are dangerous, and admits he doesn;t use them as cycling on the road is safer. So I have to ask, why isn't he so vociferous in his appeals to the council to stop wasting money on stuff for cyclists that cyclists don't want or use, as he is in obstructing motorists at every turn?

wahl Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 these cycle routes were funded by eu and agreed by the last government. I agree this is a total waste of money but you must appreciate that the people who authorised them envisage masses of cyclists using them to gaily go to work, school, shopping whatever as people used to do in 1930. This then allows them to use uncongested roads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
