On spending differently & better, the answer could well be found in the Single Integrated Plan.
On generating more money without being a great burden on society, this has got to be from pulling cash into the County by inward investment (new employers that want to be here, or expansion of existing employers), people going out of the County to work and bringing back in and spending much higher disposable incomes, tourism & visitor economy which we have probably tried and is not for us, increasing productivity of our existing business & industry.
probably guessed response..
let the electorate actually have a say.
they should decide on how much of a burden, what priorities should be spent on, etc…not councillors who on the whole live in the 1990s and are practically all white, male, grey & middle class and loyal to out of touch thatcherite policies.
and time for my capitalist head… if the town is to be a success during this financial crisis, the town needs the residents to have lower disposable incomes to compete better with the rest of the UK, Europe and the world.
