I didn't believe the council leader, last night in the interview on local news,  when he claimed that the newsletter was revenue neutral, and even if it is, that's a great deal less than the savings promised.

It could work but not as they currently do it - rather than waste money sending it to every household
it can be targetted at fewer, better targetted audiences, such as doctors surgeries, libraries, job centres, etc.

Also it shouldn't just be CCC but get other cornish and devonshire councils to advertise in it, as well as major
devon and cornwall employers such as the police, sww, met office, etc to help pay for it and make it more worth reading for those who are looking at high end jobs.

While they're at it, they should also include contract and consultancy tendering.

As it stands the pish "newsletters" we get from South West Water and Cornwall County Council are a waste of time, money and resources - nothing more than an exersize in praising themselves and further alienating users of their services.

I totally failed to vote for our Truro LibDem PPC, as I got the date wrong and thought it was this weekend, I was hoping to at least make it along and vote even if I didn't ask any awkward questions.

My apologies to the candidates who took the time to come around and talk about their agenda and answer my questions.
