Goodbye to your Money

The one good thing that come out of the Council meeting on the Rose, was that the names of all the lib/Dems who voted for the use of out council tax to be spent this way, were recorded.
That means that when the next election comes they will have to explain why they closed down Hobkirk House, why there was no money to bring up-to-date
Cocks Crescent, why they cut £50.000 from local budgets for things like road and pavement repairs.
And many other questions, but one thing Cllr Osbourne got wrong, that is when he said it would take up a small piece on our leaflet, just wait and see if that’s correct.
The residents of Kingston (not just the Town centre) will have their say, and the lib/Dems will pay for not consulting fully with those who work hard to find the money to pay for the largest Council tax in London, and one of the largest in the country.
The Mayor of London have said that he will Freeze city taxes, when asked by the conservatives to do the same Cllr Osbourne said NO.
One thing for certain, things do not look all that rosy for him and his followers, one hardened supporter of the Lib/Dems have told me that they have gone to far, well we all now that.

The Kingston Guardian website reported that late last August Council leader Cllr Osbourne pledged to close the public purse after handing an extra £250,000 to the Rose fit out. But in May, the company set up by the Council to fit out the theatre was forced to ask for an extra £350,000 to pay for the cost of overruns on doors, wiring and footwells, taking the final price tag to £7.15m – more than £638,000 over the original budget.
