BEFORE the district council embarks on a new purpose-built centre, it might be appropriate to consider whether the authority gives any real value for money to the people of Wyre Forest.
Its main areas of responsibility exclude highways, housing and leisure and are limited to planning, refuse collection and parks and open paces.
For this, 42 councillors receive an annual allowance of £4,563, totalling £191,746, all of which means that the council has become little more than a talking shop.
We might be more sympathetic if they showed some level of responsibility.
Brinton Park in Kidderminster has two toilets. One is closed through disrepair and the other is an utter disgrace.
If they cannot manage to deal with something as simple as this, why should they expect our support?
