NE LINCS council

By and large, I can't complain about them, from my own selfish point of view. My bins get emptied, my road has just been resurfaced, my streetlights work, every street I walk down is reasonably clean and tidy, and generally they arent too bad. I am sure that those who work for them, or study them in greater details will have less favourable comments though.

Although, now I am thinking about it... £123 a month to get my bins emptied and have clean, lit streets..... hmmmmm, I feel slightly robbed! lol.

Could be worse, we could get Humberside back. £123 a month to get Hull's streets cleaned, lit, and bins emptied.

Quoted from aaron rattray

what do you think of them?
i think they have been greedy and useless for years and years but what do you lot think? is there anybody who thinks they do a good job?

I see Barrymore's metamorphosis into Ben Elton has fell flat on its' bottom.

Yes, because no one living in Hull paid any council tax did they?

I have to say that if NELC has one major failing in recent years it is this. IMO the then council followed party political lines rather than what was good for the community. Given that I don't base my decisions on just one matter they have been more than reasonable, whatever the political persuasion.

i worked for them for 12 yrs and just as any council in the land they are damned if they do and damned if they dont....they get less and less each year off the government yet everybody expects them to supply the the same service. Old people whinge like f@ck when something gets cut, the paper rallies behind them so the council u turn and save somewhere else less contraversial.
They have a difficult job making year on year savings and when you are a member of staff and having to face the uncertainty of a restructure every other year your morale drops so understandably so does your performance.
Its a downward trend.
There are some brilliant people working at the council who give their all but on the flip side there are some utter useless f@ckers too who can go undetected in a large organisation and escape the chop.
The main problem with an organisation or institute like the council is that they reward longevity rather than capability so a promotion is bestowed upon people who have been there a while rather than those most suited or capable. i know because i have been on both ends of that scenario.

well to save money turn those fountains off forever in town and clamp down on road offences ect
