They get 55% more, and the agency make a killing on top of that.
Money for the middle men, the enablers profiting out of the incompetence, or is it, of those at the top of the tree.
Possibly associates?
Makes you wonder as to the reasons behind the situation!IT has never been a council strong point.
From a council chamber sound system that was replaced, rather than maintained and the councillors instructed in how to use it correctly, to the parking space indicators.From the old bus signage, which didn’t work as specified for decades, but was, and in some parts still is, powered up consuming electricity, to the new one which has been meaningless from virtually switch on now being nothing more than a very expensive clock for more than two years.
Let’s not forget the street WiFi!
A system that was out of date when first proposed but is still not functioning despite all the investment and promises.Just the tip of the iceberg, I suspect.
All that money wasted whilst we’re told there’s no money available for essential things!
Who “organised” this?
A private individual, or the council?
Whatever, I only found out because of friends posts!How many more failed projects to spend money on?
Wrexham Council, late to the party and no understanding.
Many years ago we had active bus signage, it purported to be real time but, unlike other towns it was just a timetable so caused more confusion than help. Showing buses that didn’t exist.
Even a decade or so of being off line all these signs appear to be still consuming electricity.
What a waste!
Now the new signage data is switched off, but the screens consuming power!
Why is that, is there no one capable of keeping it up to date?The WiFi project, years late and ill-conceived.
Showing a complete lack of understanding of what was going on in the real world.
Numerous shop, and bars, already had free WiFi and data to mobiles was becoming more affordable.Let’s get the basics sorted, a decent bus service – with reliable timetables – amongst many other things, before going into things that aren’t understood by those making the decisions.
Running the high speed trains at normal speed, from Crewe to Holyhead, isn’t going to happen. They’re electric, the North Wales Coast line isn’t electrified.
With money sucked out of the Welsh system, electrification is probably a long way away.
To get the high speed train would mean changing at Crewe so there wouldn’t be an advantage.
Probably quicker to stay on the normal route rather than hike across Crewe station and wait for a connection.
It’s going to be of no advantage at all.As BenjaminM says, obvious why the map is drawn that way.
Not seen anything relating to the English side of the border.
Asleep on the job?What a pointless waste of time, and money. So many other things need tackling.
It’s just a vanity project for a few, of real benefit to no one, other than a small number of people who will gain bragging rights and, if it comes off, will be doing the equivalent of willy waving!Unfortunately, until education is fully financed by government there will always be suspect partnerships in an attempt to procure funding.
People being forced to use a language other than their own, and being punished for using their own language, has a ring of familiarity to it.
Ah, that would be the English ruing over the Welsh and the suppression of the Welsh language.Interesting to note, they were third cousins.
First met in 1934.
July 1939 a 13-year-old Elizabeth was, according to the papers “smitten” by an 18-year-old Philip, who was then a naval cadet and kept in constant touch until they married.
I’ll not draw parallels!
The family background is interesting.If it’s a vacant post there must be funding in place for it. You can’t force people to move to a particular location. I think you will find there are areas of the UK where there have been vacancies for decades, in some posts.
I believe some GP vacancies have, at best, been covered by locums for years as they can’t find anyone to move to the locations permanently.
We now have the problem of a reduced work pool as well.
