Plymouth residence got to use food banks, kids needs laptop so Plymouth Council are giving £20,000 grant to a Plymouth pub and still asking the Government for money. Now they are asking Joe Biden over here

Sounds just like our labour run council. Plead for money from the government for social services but are able to pay people to put in bus lanes, parking restrictions and motorised scooters for people to use.

Where's the money going? 20% VAT and council tax has gone up about 5000% compared to the old rates system, utilities gone through the roof (much of which used to be paid by rates as well) low tax economy my sweaty arse.

Just a guess but in the thirty years I've Lived in this property it's gone up from £245pa to £1585pa so more like 600% so a slight exaggeration lol. Still a fookin disgrace when I reckon wages have about doubled in that time.

The bill to install the rusty statue on the Hoe was £475,000 the council wont reveal the cost of the statue itself, so near on a million pounds.

Luke Pollard drinks at the Lord High Admiral and the council has given it a twenty thousand pound grant, any connection?

PCC really arent fit for purpose especially under a Tudor Evans led labour party. Completely inept and has literally done nothing for Plymouth apart from promote is own woke ideas. Why on earth would Joe Biden want to come here and for what reason? no point having him promote the mayflower celebrations thats been and done in terms of special events.

Utilities must be cheaper now as they are run by philanthropic private enterprise. SWW is a prime example of how much better a private can be than public ownership.

£10bn to clean up the beaches, £10bn to reline their Victorian pipes that still leak then £10bn every few years for the shareholders.
