'Better tell that to Samia Chaudhary then. If you're right, she can be made redundant and the savings used on something else.'
Yes, one of the cries is that as the portfolio holder in the 'cabinet' for Parks and Leisure - this member is unresponsive and not very interested either. We seem to be reaching a tipping point where local volunteer groups 'Friends', who not only give of their time, but in many cases also raise considerable amounts of money to keep our parks and open spaces in good order, are treated with disdain. There is precious little communcation and it appears not much intention from Hounslow to truly embrace working together. With money being so tight you would think that above all else these activities would be welcomed with open arms, then you'd be thinking wrong. Where Boston Manor's trojans go - others may follow out of sheer frustration - and that would be a sad day. |
