How to waste the council precept
This morning a North Yorkshire County Council gritter spreading grit down Church Street due to icy conditions.
At 8.20am Scarborough Borough Councils mechanical road sweeper came along and swept it up.
As snow is forcast for the north of England this grit could be sorely needed on the road.

Monday, March 12, 2012 at 10:36 AMThose of you who are interested in the dubious techniques by which this Council perpetrates all manner of unpopular and undemocratic nonsense may like to follow my new weekly column on the Real Whitby newsblog. First two features up already and attracting informed debate (for the most part) - "Who has a Stake in the Stakeholders' Steering Groups?" (about the secretive management of the so-called 'public consultation process'), and "Who's Complaining?" (a detailed view of how the Standards Coommittee is nothing more than a sham). Coherent and respectful comments welcome.
