SO, 'tax-payers overcharged' and 'it was a mistake', yet another one.

I think Cllr R Hollingworth should reconsider his position.

I think its up to the taxpayer on how our money is spent. We pay more than enough for poor, wasteful services. If we can't have a refund, give it to charities such hospices, air ambulance, cancer research etc. Charities of our choice, with proof that the charities have received our cash.

If these people were doing their job as councillors properly, there would not be slip ups, wasted money and the need to pay someone else to bail them out of the mire.
