The Cost, to us all

Cllr Kate Dean Lib Dem, Aberdeen Council Leader, Not out begging for funds. Although perhaps she should.

Now we have touched on the traveller sites many times but now the true cost to the tax payer is starting to reach the voters and the madness of our SNP/Lib Dem council who are hell bent on wasting tax payers money on politically correct schemes. Now we know that the council is making cuts to services and increasing charges to fill a £27 million black hole in the council’s revenue fund, it is the tax payers who will bare the brunt of these cutbacks, so why is the council hell bent on wasting money on people who pay little or no taxes at all.

It has been revealed this week that the council are looking for private land to buy or let for four new traveller sites around the city. Experts have predicted that it will cost over £1 million for the land and a further £168,000 a year to run and maintain the sites.

The running costs will be a continual price that Aberdeen tax payers will have to burden, a cost to supplement the lifestyle of people who do not contribute much in return as regard to taxes. That is why they live the travelling life, because they can exist for a relatively cheap price compared to the heavily taxed house dweller.

Now as I have said before their are decent travellers, but it is down to responsibility, the hard pressed tax payer should not be forced to pay for any group who do not wish to belong to the Work, Pay Taxes, Work, Pay Even More Taxes herd that most of us are in.

Yes provide a decent site for the real travellers who do pay rent, but 4 sites that is excessive, too expensive and not fair on the tax payer.
