Letter: Save money by scrapping Telford's council
Letter: Shropshire County Council ran the county, including Telford, for many years. There is no reason why the county authority cannot run it now.
Letter: Regarding the headline on the front page of the Shropshire Star on July 19 "Council facing £4 million cuts over spending curb".
I would point out that East Dorset Council and Christchurch Council have made positive moves to save money. Among other things they have decided to have only one chief executive.
The socialists created Telford & Wrekin Council in order to create jobs that were already covered by Shropshire County Council, also to preserve their Labour majority. They had no regard for the cost to the people of Telford.
The whole thing was a total waste of Telford people's money.
If Councilor Andrew Eade and all of the councillors swallowed their pride, they would put the interests of Telford people first, disband the council and return to the county authority.
Shropshire County Council ran the county, including Telford, for many years. There is no reason why the county authority cannot run it now.
This would save many millions of pounds for the local people, not only this year but also every year.
