Public Statement received from Susan Stockwell on Agenda Item 6 – Budget 2025/26
Please do not approve this budget unless you are absolutely certain that it will allow all of BCP's statutory duties in your area of responsibility to be met in full. From the evidence of my own eyes I do not believe this to be the case is many areas at present. I am not asking for gold plated taps, but for water to come out in more than a drip when turned on.
