SIR – It was only recently I said to save money for the council was to get rid of 12 top earners and give their work to the ones under them, at no extra pay.

It was this lot who have been running the council with no real budget and when they went over the top they just increased the council tax, but now the wells are dry the first thing they do is reduce care for the sick and most vulnerable. Typical!
