More on the worst town in the UK. This time focussing on town hall corruption.
What would they do with the millions, yes millions fleeced from the motorist from using cash cow non-compliant road & bus lane signage?
Answer: approve themselves a move to a new marble & pilkington gaff at a cost of £60 million.
60 million quid, and they can't even bring road signs to standard.
60 million quid, and there are still homeless people on the Reading streets.
60 million quid, and the roads are full of potholes.
Reading Borough Council, THE most corrupt in the land.
I regret you may be singling out that council unfairly as this sort of behaviour is mirrored through many UK councils.
Greedy men lining their pockets with other people's money....it's everywhere.
Our local council did something similar 4 years ago. One of my clients, an office fitting specialists, did the fit out. £700 desks for a starter!!
3 years later the, council withdrew from the premises as the "running costs had become prohibitive". It was 'sold' to the local housing association at a knock down price....no guesses who the directors are on their board.
