"WHICH WOULD YOU CHOOSE?" ASK LIB DEM COUNTY COUNCILLORS
March 27, 2008 12:00 AM
Despite Liberal Democrat protests, the Conservatives on Cambridgeshire County Council will spend an extra £125,000 every year on the glossy publication "Your Cambridgeshire".
This publication is to be delivered to every household four times a year.
Liberal Democrat Resources Spokesperson, Cllr Nichola Harrison, said:
"The Conservatives claim the Council is cash-strapped and they have repeatedly cut essential basic services. Yet this latest PR exercise is considered a top priority and the next edition will unsurprisingly come out two weeks before the local elections.
"£125,000 could pay for:
- 789 elderly or disabled people to receive benefits advice;
- 14,750 hours of teaching support for children with special needs;
- 41 kilometres of surface treatment for pavements;
- 7,812 hours of home care for elderly people.
"The Liberal Democrats would choose to spend taxpayers' money on services that benefit them so we need to ask them: 'Which would you choose?'".
