TCC Council financial controller, Paul Davidson states TCC have saved $9 million on projects tendered against the amount budgeted for the year ended 30 June 2010. Please Mr Davidson, spell out exactly what these projects were and the amounts saved because I do not accept this report is correct and the $100 million spent on capital projects said to be $27 million less than budget – once again, please provide details. Surely it's not that difficult or complicated to do.
R Paterson, Matapihi.

TCC response: Thank you Mr Paterson for your query. By now you will have received a personal copy of the spreadsheet outlining all the savings - unfortunately the space here precludes us printing it. However if anyone is interested they are welcome to go to our website an type ‘savings' into the search box and this will take you to the list.
