Cllr. Gary Hunt, the Liberal Democrat councillor for Knighton writes in the local press about the burning issue of Pennbury;
Bedford Town Centre is to be declared an Air Quality Management Area (AQMA) following the success of a Liberal Democrat proposal at last night's meeting of the General Purposes Committee of Bedford Borough Council. The decision commits the council to take action to improve air quality across the town centre area.
Councillors have recently been told that Gedling Borough is heading for a £498,200 overspend on this year's budget. This enormous overspend is the only one we can remember in the last 26 years. It's taken Gedling's ruling Tories just 15 months of slackness to turn a financially sound council into a financial mess.
The news gets worse.
Every year Gedling's Leisure Department increases its prices for the use of its leisure centres, pitches, etc. Last year it put up the prices by too much and takings dropped by £85,000!
