I'm not going to bother...
I remember the last time we had the opportunity to take part in having a say in what Council Services we thought were important...
The Council must have spent a lot of money paying a phycologist to word that document. I sat there and went through it and felt unable to answer any of the questions, I felt that it was designed in such a way that there was no way to answer except to agree to cutting something..
Along the lines of 'Do you want to be shot or hung?'
I just think this a complete waste of time and money... shall I tell you what this is about? Asking the publics opinion using 'loaded' questions so that when the axe falls and they massacre our services they can then say one of two things..
1) we asked people for there opinions and they weren't interested..
2) These cuts are what the public suggested.
Basically whatever you do you will be used as a scapegoat for more services being withdrawn and more jobs being lost...
I know I am a cynic... but after what I've seen done in Councils all over the country in the name of austerity can you really blame me..
