If SCC under the leadership of John Merry had been a little more careful with civic funds they wouldn't be in the situation that they are now in.

Spending on landmark projects with little regard to cost has resulted in a council that is on the verge of bankruptcy.

Even now they spend ridiculous amounts on executive salaries and self gratifying projects that are nothing more than folly.

During Labours management of SCC little has changed in the area, unemployment is still high and education and health are still below average when compared to other authorities who have had similar budgets.

They have failed you and the council leader should acknowledge this failure by resigning his post.
