Oh dear ,how disapointing for them !!
Maybe they could put some of the profit towards storage for 22miles of brown bins, due to be collected.
Are there any business men on our Wirral Council ?
We should employ Lord Sugar for 1 week, it would be worth his salary, in savings from the idiots he fires

How much do they rake in for parking on yellow lines? etc when we can't find a parking space, due to so many W.B.C. pay car park's,were dammed if we do and were dammed if we don't.
