Welcome to rip off Britain where joe public gets hit in the pocket year after year as the powers that be know that we can afford these increases just keep the stiff upper lip boys and girls as you know its makes sense and remember what cam the man said ‘we are all in this together’.
This council has an open door policy except that it is controlled by a small group of elected representatives whether its the leader and his cronies I cannot say but democracy seems to have all but disappeared from Wrexham council based on recent decisions.
It appears that it is ‘do as say not as I do’.As senior management posts are so important within the structure of the council other persons I assume must have been given the role/duties as they would have not just disappeared?.
So these persons being given extra duties/responsibilities on top of their current jobs would carry on with the same financial remuneration as they had before, somehow I think not at this level, as a minion you just have more work dumped on you and told to get on with it by senior management
At senior management level one could say that financial ‘inducements’ perhaps have been added (nudge nudge wink wink).what ‘pot’ did this money appear from as our elected members keep saying budget cuts/no money etc politically correct no, politically inept yes, but hey the new arts hub will save us all as it will be the guiding light to draw in the massive crowds even though the powers that be have indicated it being a loss maker for at least four years.
Yes Wrexham council keep spending taxpayers money on these good decisions (most made behind closed doors) as you know it makes senseWhatever input from the public is provided we can rest assure that 99.9% will be ignored by the main decision makers in this council.
One thing that is sure to happen is another council tax increase with the same bland excuses as given in previous years, pay even more for less as we are all in it together and we are seen as cash cows with deep pockets.
Still this council is becoming ‘lean and mean’ in their own eyes, you only have to look at the fancy job titles that a percentage of the employees have (or make up).
Yes the councillors listen to our views (NOT) and this council has an open door policy except when decisions have already been made behind closed doors so I would assume that another public input is highly anticipated.I would like to know if now being an Executive Director with I assume more responsibility and pressure this guy has the time to get the job done with regards to the ‘vision’ for wrexham or will it just become a ‘paper pushers’ position.
Two things that need to be mentioned are:-
the more houses built within this borough the more council tax that has to be paid to this council and
the more money the chief executive can get (increase in population)
Any problems with the existing infrastructure and services trying to cope I would think has only slightly crossed the minds of Wrexham council because at the end of the day MONEY TALKS.Vanity,vanity and more vanity from the minority of elected members who have hidden agendas and make the majority of decisions behind closed doors that will effect all council tax payers.
Democracy in this council has disappeared completely the few rule the rest.
