£12 million Cutbacks from Highland Council spending.
Where does everyone think the cuts in public spending be focussed towards?
Roads? Schools? Hospitals? Care for stray animals? Obviously bilingual signs should be shelved as there is no moral purpose when essential services are being cut. I think heating and lighting of public buildings can be managed better. Christmas street decorations could be stopped. How about fortnightly bin rounds? No more free school meals for under privileged kids? Performance related pay for teachers, police and other public sector workers? Is it wrong that HC aren't allowed to raise the council tax? Change the terms and conditions of the pension funds of firemen and police? Stop free transport for pensioners and other concessionaries? Stopping renumeration pay for councillors who are still employed elsewhere and cut their expenses allowances?

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.
