SKIPP press release (17-01-18)

We are shocked to read that Cllr. Mark Flewitt revealed in his letter of Tues 16th Jan that the paltry sum of £75,000 is not actually going to be spent on helping the homeless but in fact talking about helping the homeless. Given the track record of the council, would it be more accurate to say that they will be spending £75k to set up a committee to talk about and plan how to set up a committee which will require further funding in order to “investigate” the homeless situation, whilst all the time the homeless suffer and freeze on the streets?

Are they going to spend thousands on outside consultancy fees as is the council’s normal modus operandi? Here is a radical idea, why not use the council officers to do the job for which we already pay them?

Cllr. Flewitt’s letter states that “the council has mostly managed to keep the lid on” the situation! Just what planet are you living on Cllr. Flewitt? May we suggest that you step out of your heated council office and spend a few hours in our High Street and you will see everything that you need without spending £75k on a pointless “investigation”?
