Nothing much of any consequence happened at last nights Council meeting. In fact there were very few of us there and no members of the public at all. Perhaps the highlight of the evening was a presentation by our accountant on the year end accounts. For me not the spiciest of topics although one figure did jump out at me, and that was that we had managed to spend quite a bit of money on the do we had for opening the Hoad monument last summer. Now I know we had a lovely firework display and a big ribbon around the monument but when I heard that we had spent £20,850 and 44 pence I was amazed. Still we all had a lovely time, and you can't skimp on these grand openings.
I had a moan about bins outside Ford Park and the entrance to the Hoad not being emptied before long weekends and we agreed to send a strong letter to SLDC which should have a big effect, I hope. Oh and I thought I heard our Mayoress say that she was going to have to use my little pony in something to do with Carnival day, although as she doesn't project very clearly I may have misheard that bit.
We also had a bit of a moan about SLDC not looking after our flower beds and tubs. There was even a suggestion that we should manage our own beds and tubs. Mind you that would mean trying to find out how much SLDC allocate to doing this service in Ulverston which is probably unfathomable, so no doubt that won't happen, but a novel idea. Imagine.
Oh and I particularly liked it when the mayor was reminded that decisions are made by the democratic process, and not by one person.
All in all not especially exciting.
