I read that the Cricket Club are to build new premises with their own funding – unlike so many other sports groups who rely on the ratepayer. The Cricket Club have even modified its building plans to suit its finances. What's known as ‘Cutting their suit according to their cloth'!
Included in this venture, TCC is spending $543,000 of ratepayer's money on public toilet facilities!
Half a million dollars for a public dunny?
Are the taps to be gold plated? Is it completely lined with imported Italian marble?
Does it include 24 a-side stalls with a 40m long platinum plated urinal?
For $543,000 you could build a fancy 6 bed- roomed, 4 bathroom mansion or 2 very acceptable 3 bed-roomed houses – provided you didn't have to pay for the land – which Council won't be.
Once again we get this criminal largesse with ratepayer funds or worse yet ratepayer's borrowings at interest.
Why doesn't our Council and Councillors ‘cut their suit according to our cloth'?
