megilleland Posted June 14, 2014 Report Posted June 14, 2014 201 Ways to Save Money in Local Government Harry Phibbs, a local conservative councillor in Hammersmith & Fulham for over seven years, has produced for the TaxPayers’ Alliance a checklist of 201 ways for local politicians to save money. However he doesn't explain how to avoid the consequences of some of his cuts. This must be where the cabinet cribs its ideas from. They could add another soon - sell off your football ground. Quote
dippyhippy Posted June 15, 2014 Report Posted June 15, 2014 Colin may well be interested in idea number 173.... Reduce the amount of traffic lights! Traffic flow improves, and it saves money! Quote
Ubique Posted June 15, 2014 Report Posted June 15, 2014 Dippy - that's amazing and very comenderable - you have actually read to 121 - Quote
dippyhippy Posted June 15, 2014 Report Posted June 15, 2014 I've read them all Ubique. All 201 of them! Yes, all these bright ideas are here.....outsourcing, shared services, reduced grass cutting, selling assets. The turning off of the traffic lights struck me as one of the few things on the list our Council Cabinet haven't implemented!! Typical!!! Quote
