Barnet Council have produced this (mis)information video to soften us all up for another round of budget cuts. I am rather disappointed that so much conjecture is presented as hard facts. Savings from One Barnet which only exist on pieces of paper in council projections are presented as cash in the piggybank. There is a huge misrepresentation, which pretends that because there is a huge influx of people to Barnet, the cashflow will automatically improve for the council. This ignores the fact that these new residents require schools, refuse collection, social care etc.They conveniently didn't mention the huge expenditure on extra school places, or the stress on the council infrastructure.
Anyway, I'm sure you'll be fascinated to see what Baaaarnet Council are spending your cash on. Maybe I'll FOI this video to see how many taxpayers pennies it cost to make.
Just wrong on so Many Levels ! There Explanation of more People Equate to More Money is Rubbish !! It's the same Amount of Money split more Ways !!!

ReplyDeleteIf money is that tight why the 1% cut in Council Tax just prior to the local elections?
