Council Taxed

New Tory Civic Plans

Local Conservatives have withdrawn their backing to the new civic centre after it was revealed that the cost of construction had rised by £20m because of the need to dispose of the asbetsos riddled current civic building.

Andrew Cumpsty explained their u-turn: "It is important that we look at the overall burden on Reading's council tax payers and anything that prevents us from pissing £1m up the wall on the Mapledurham Pavilion must be resisted. And with the current downturn in the property market, pretty soon we're going to have millions of pounds worth of empty buildings in Station Hill which we still want to see built and a grateful landlord looking for tenants?"
