Some strange maths involved in this BBC story, which reports that the repair budget<\/a> for Derbyshire’s roads is being\u00a0cut.<\/p>\n

…the county council said repair funds had been cut by \u00a31m to \u00a315m next year as part of wider savings.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Repair funds cut by \u00a31m. OK so far.<\/p>\n

The city council said its current \u00a32.2m roads maintenance budget was being cut to \u00a31.58m for 2011\/12.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now, let me see… 2.2 minus 1.58… carry the one… comes to 0.62. So of the \u00a31m total cut, over 60% of it will be on the road repair jobs.<\/p>\n

This is just typical of these idiot councils we have managing affairs for us. Derbyshire, of all places (it’s high and gets very snowy when it is not even close to being snowy anywhere else), needs urgent road repairs. The Council, meanwhile, is far more concerned about idiot projects to widen pavements, repair pavements, put pavements in where there wasn’t one before, replace pavements which aren’t even damaged, raise kerbstones, lower kerbstones, replace bus stops needlessly, and so on.<\/p>\n

The initial cut might be led by Mickey and Minnie in Downing Street, but the choice of where it hits hardest is down to\u00a0the clowns in local government.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
