| Ed, I thought that is was 60 Million over a period of 4 year's-15 Million per year, where did the 18 Million come from? would you give an honest answer to a pertinent question!! just how much did it cost we the tax payer to completely refurbish the Gymnasium's at Kew(Brentford)Leisure Center & Isleworth "Leisure Campus" whilst I realize that they can be money making concerns surely a Gymnasium is a luxury that only a few can afford, while a Library is there for everyone.To my mind a Gym is a luxury a library a necessity. You say that it is unfair to penalize local people but!! is that not what the Council proposes to do by closing our Libraries.Out of curiosity are you prepared to tell us how much the incentive is being offered by the Government to aid us in the Council Tax Freeze, you didn't say? also just how much will it cost us for the more specific library consultation can you not work on the previous consultation, thus saving money. You also mention a cutback on purchasing book's and yet when I wanted to donate 50 new book's on a regular basis it was blatantly refused because of lack of storage space.Why??? has Brentford not been refurbished is it because English Heritage will become involved as it should, we only have to look at the disgrace of Brentford Bath's which was another donation to see what would happen to our lovely library left in the council's hand's. Shame on you all. You want to save money just look at the wastage around you,I live in Beech Avenue we are now going into the 4th week of scaffolding looking like a fortress on a house 4 door's up from me and nary a workman has been around, we have to pay for the use of this scaffolding do we not-how much has it cost do you not see this kind of money loss happens on a daily basis over the borough.Think of how much money could be saved by ensuring that job's contracted out were done on a penalty clause, they do not complete on time they get penalized. |
