Dear County Council
As we are approaching christmas I would like to send you a small note of my appreciation for your gargantuan efforts to improve our town and county through the rechless spending of the taxpayers money.
I feel items such as the £600 hat for the town mayor deserve a special mention, Im assuming the head wear was priced so extortionately as it had to be hand made so's it would be identical in every way to the existing hat for the town mayor, which I am informed is now on display in the town treasury for all to see, however in the 21 years I have lived in this town, I can not recall an occasion when the town treasury has ever been open to the public.
I like a drink as much as the next person, which is why Id like to commend the bar costs for the town hall running to nearly £20'000 annually, It makes me proud to think my hard earned money will result in "a spliffing time had by all" at the Newark Town Council Ball.
Another fantastic use the entertainment "pot" is the christmas lights. I shudder to think what would have happened had hundreds of thousands of pounds not been spent on seventy eight gazzillion bulbs all of the same colour, shape, brightness and design.Christmas just would not have been christmas without the contribution of at least £1.50 from every man woman and child in the county for the next three years, which is when, Im informed the lease will run out on the new christmas lights.
I can just picture it now, Imagine the little childrens beaming faces when next year, the exact same christmas lights are located in the the exact same place and turned on again, by the exact same DJ from lincs F.M. Who said the magic of christmas has gone?
Looking back on this last year There are many things I would like to commend our glorious council for.Not least of all the Thousands of pounds spent on legal advice for a corrupt council member who now runs a questionable food service, and there's more!for What would this town have been without the £20'000 appearance of two thirds of human leauge at the town festival, the plynth installed in the local riverside park as a recognition of achivement for the council, awarded by... you guessed it... the Newark council.And of course the money injected into local causes such as the £15'000 "safe" cycle track (only seven fatalities this year!) and the local skate park (oh no hang on the lottery fund paid for that) and who could forget the jubille/millenium/miscellaneous arch and the artist commissioned to buld it now at least £30'000 better off thanks to the intelligent descisions of the Newark COuncil Arts committee.I can only wait with baited breath for the revelation of what next milestone event the arch will mark, should it ever be removed from its sacking and relocated from storage.
So heres to you Newark Council...long may you live and hard may I work.For one thing is for certain, as long as there is a pointless purchase to be made, or an entirely questionable project to approve, the will always be a place in the tax payers direct debit list for you.
