Ideal chance to cut bureaucracy


IN reading reports of the recent meeting of the Ribble Valley Council’s Finance Committee, I was most surprised to find that members who were very critical of public spending in their election literature should now be proposing more wasteful bureaucracy when presented with an ideal opportunity of reducing this.
