County Council glossy magazines a waste of ink....

"Around Kent" the new trendy looking magazine from those well known publishers of style magazines, Kent County Council, dropped through my letter box today. I can't help thinking that these publications are basically a total waste of time, paper, ink and our money. Why do they find the need to congratulate themselves in this way. They are not providing any news, just a quickly read, easily forgotten mag which promises alot by a glossy cover and delivers very little. I don't want to see style guru Chairman of KCC, Paul Carter's ugly mug staring out at me like an egotistical MD of a local UPVC conservatories company. Please KCC stop wasting our time with these ill thought out and expensive projects. I don't need you to tell me there are pot holes on our roads, I can just drive down my road and nearly lose my wheel axles if I don't manage to dodge them all. Spend our money on what you do best. Now what was that again?!..

Tonbridgeblog, dont blame KCC for spending money on self satisfaction advertising. They were given a mandate last June by the voting public of Kent to carry on with such wastes and other non front line service ventures. At least they could not justfy spending more on Kent TV and the plug was pulled after £2 millions down the drain. At least they dont sell books, or do they? Maybe they sell pens? KCC have a suppliies company amoung all the other commercial service enterprise companies that they run. Business that they are able to set up without any personal risks because they are risking our money.

Just received my copy, what a load of self-congratulatory nonsense. On the one hand bragging about the lowest increase in Council Tax ever, and then wasting tax-payers' money on publications like "Around Kent"!

Get real KCC, and stop wasting OUR money!
