One way or another they’re gonna getcha.
Who is this grinning man? Why is he so happy? What crazy ideas does he have to help our local services? Well he is Peter Vickers – Waverley Borough Council’s Head of Finance no less. This accountant-in-chief has come up with a thumping good idea of how to reduce the burden of the voluntary services in the borough of Waverley.
How? A WAVERLEY LOTTERY of course!
The Head of Finance can be heard in the clip below revealing his cunning plan to save the council £750,000 by ending funding to voluntary organisations such as the Citizens’ Advice Bureau, Meals on Wheels, and old people’s day centres, and instead throwing the burden onto – yes you guessed US!
Click Play above to listen to Peter Vickers bright idea. Notice he never uses the words “Cut their pesky grants” but a rather accountant like “switch out their funding”. Such an elegant choice of words. Clearly the man is in a hole, and needs any suggestions you can make to balance the budget, without which Waverley will be bankrupt in 3 years time. If you do have a cost cutting idea, please help a man out and phone him on 01483 523539.
Not to do with the Waverley lottery but does anyone know why they are closing the Guildford Road, Cranleigh again for another six weeks, more disruption, Alford road closed, soon you won’t be able to get in or out of Cranleigh, the houses are not even built and already it is chaos.
Meant Alfold not Alford
Don’t worry – Nobody can get it right – not even Government Inspectors!
