Volunteering - time AND money

Stop thrashing around, moaning about service closures. Do something, but not by complaining to the council.

What we want the council to do is the cuts that are mandated, then make a further step on planning a 5% per year reduction in council tax. However they can. Cut pay, strip out non-jobs, leave expensive luxury buildings, stop free parking...

The money released, or increased volunteering, both cash and time, must run the services that local people want.

No more bloated, fussy, do-goody council activities. The councils must do the minimum they should and stop dreaming up any new social schemes.
