Your Say Your Thurrock

WHAT a crass idea from Thurrock Council, to leave the gates unlocked to parks and cemeteries so anyone can go in there overnight and vandalise til their hearts content. You can't call the police to get rid of these people as they are suffering cuts so will only react to major incidents. So will the council be paying out more than it is saving by putting right the mess that will be ultimately left behind once the parks and cemeteries are open all day?  − Freddy K, Grays

Park and cemetery gates to remain open if council cuts approved »

WHY not cut councillors' expenses, the last time I saw they were £500,000, why should we pay councillors anything other than out of pocket expenses and why, oh why, do we pay for their internet? − Dave, Corringham

Council cutbacks to be worse than first thought »
