When will they stop demanding money?

-

AS it been stated that just not Nottingham but Nottingham­shire has to adhere to Tier Two of the threetier system, in respect to restrictio­ns, of which as soon as its mentioned the three MPS and the city council are demanding money – but what could the city council have done with the millions it’s lost through the years. Already the likes of David Mellen and Nadia Whittome have stepped up on the podium to demand more assistance and throw unsubstant­iated claims, but how much of the funding actually gets to the front line?

Poor Mr Iles of Newark seems to think everything the Government does should be on a knee-jerk basis and be achieved like a miracle, rather than getting a better overview of the situation and the facts, rather than emotions. I know we live in app world, where it’s deemed problems can be resolved at the press of the icon, but that is not the real world. Ask James Dyson if his first invention did not encounter a few problems in its developmen­t.

What was David Mellen doing about the hordes of students who deemed it was their right to pursue refresher activities in the city, or those who ignored wearing a mask on the buses. Surely not 80 percent of Nottingham have respirator­y problem, along with marches and protestors, and those who ignore the restrictio­ns in respect to illegal parties held, with only one person being seriously fined.

With the city council over £1 billion in debt and two failed projects, namely the Robin Hood Energy and the Broadmarsh, he does not exactly instil confidence or leadership. What does the future hold for trams, with reduced WPL? Then we had the fiasco involving MP Nadia Whittome who made accusation­s about a nursing home that she volunteere­d to assist, of which we have to ask why so far away from her constituen­cy, when her area has quite a large nursing homes?
