It's all gone quiet over there. Have to assume that Winders was indeed being a tad disingenuous. Sad if ture as tends to undermine any case being made. Ho hum.
Don't want to start a row Winders but the post above suggests you are someone who has used the service whereas your previous posts on the same subject from the turn of the year seem make it clear you are an employee in the service.
Maybe you should clarify this or your latest post may be seen...
No issue with your motive or rationale Winders, it's the p*ss poor 'reporting' that gets my goat. It would actually help your cause if they got it right. Anyone reading that will assume decision made and move on.
Regardless of the rights and wrongs of the matter the article is misleading since no formal council decision has yet been made to outsource this service.
