My local authority by the way a Labour one for over 90 years is in a severe financial position, yes the government is making cuts but the authority will not make any staff redundancies, instead they are increasing council tax and decreasing the services they provide. I did some research a few months ago and my local authority appears to employ one hell of a lot more than similar size (population) authorities in England. (Labour and Conservative)

I guess it only goes to prove that they are desperate not to lose what they are well known for, the old saying was that Welsh Labour had the greatest number of civil servants this side of the iron curtain.
