Council's wasting money on art
 

Please sign my petition on Number10 to stop council's wasting our money on art and scultures in the middle of roundabouts and town centres and spend it on better facilities.

LOL! What about art galleries and subsidies?

Last year Oldham Council was 10 Million in the red and announced cuts to eliminate the deficit, it was later announced that our modern, futuristic, recently built Art Gallery will now be open on Sundays as well. :erm: Apart from when the odd party of school children are being taken around I guarantee that the staff outnumbers the punters any time you go in.

This year the council is 45 Million in the red and more cuts will have to be made, no doubt they will be announcing that the Art Gallery will be open 24 hrs. :dozey:

Oldham Council employ some really good people to run the Art Gallery and the Local Interest Centre who put on some really exceptional exhibitions, but it's all wasted on the plebs of Oldham who's brains can only stretch as far as being interested in, yet another, Pound Shop opening. :dunce:

Yeah, it's too specific.
How about a petition to: "stop councils wasting our money". <- Period

Still, the 'e-petitions' are probably giving the politicians a good chuckle, if nothing else.
