A quick competition (with no prizes). Guess how much the opening ceremony must have cost. Count all the people being paid out of the public purse, plus the 'bun fight' in the Pub opposite.

This blog is an eclectic collection of my thoughts and concerns. Some subjects are brought to my attention by others who feel this blog is a good conduit for communication. I am a volunteer for a number of local organisations, but I do NOT write on their behalf. I do not pretend to talk on behalf of any organisation or the community. There are people who share some of my views, and others that do not. If you do not like what you read here, find another blog to read, or better still write your own.

"I am not a sheep, I have my own mind. I am fed up with being told what and how to think? Whilst we are still allowed the remnants of free speech, I will speak out."
I think I agree with that.
This Blog is my snapshot of what is happening locally.
Whether you view me as an activist, a mischief maker, a nutter, an irritant, or a recorder of social history probably depends on your position and point of view.

Thank you Douglas Adams
Anything that is in the world when you're born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
Anything that's invented between when you're fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.
Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things.

The real question, surely, is about additional costs rather than existing ones (if they are paid employees they presumably will not be being paid anything extra though I accept there are consequential opportunity losses) and some of those present are, in any case, retired. So I would guess that the extra costs may be travelling expenses (let’s say 6 return Malvern/Tenbury journeys at the HMRC rate of 40ppm = £160) and (say) 30 pub lunches (at £15 per head = £450). Total cost under £750 is my guess. Whether or not this is money well spent in the present climate is an altogether different matter.
why we needed more loos i dont no.when we got some in post office car park; doctors; libary; how many more do we need.we dont get tourism.
Of course these aren't "new" toilets, but replacement toilets. As they were funded out of insurance money it would have been a waste not to build them.
