According to today’s, Reading Pravda Web page, it would seem that our little red friends down at Redinski Square have extracted £1.6 Million from their comrades & masters in Westminster so as the borough housing stock can be improved.
If you believe the publicity in the Pravda ( which I don’t ) this little scam is going to create 23 jobs and the money will be used as follows:
£270,000 – Electrical Checks
( Whatever that means )
£600,000 – Kitchen & Bathroom Improvements
( As a Council Tax payer of some 10 years standing is there any chance I can have mine done? No, thought not. )
£240,000 – Central Heating
( Do we really have council houses without central heating )
£200,000 – Home Insulation
£256,000 – Home Improvements for the disabled.
Now a few questions.
Why should this money only be available to people who live in council property, any home improvement funds should be available to all.
If this money is to be spent on council property, can we ensure that priority is given to tenants who are either registered disabled, pensioners or those in employment. Reading‘s “cant work won’t work” collection of Labour voters should be last in the queue.
Finally, RBC gets £1.6 Million, by my calculations £1,566,000 is accounted for in the budget. So what is happening to the remaining £34,000? Or shouldn’t we ask.
