I was fascinated to read Councillor Lynne Hillan’s comment on the current administration's budget of ‘prudent’ )’Council slammed over Icelandic debts’, Times Series, February 25).
A £27 million investment in Icelandic banks known not to be reliable, prudent? A potential, almost catstrophic loss of £10m to £18m of taxpayers’ money, prudent?
Dawn Redwood trees in public places, the equivalent of keeping a blue whale in your bath, prudent?
Proposing to triple the size of the current population of a small area of Barnet, potentially inflicting 28,000 extra car journeys a day on the straightjacket of roads in and around Barnet; building a sizeable new town on a flood plain of impermeable blue clay, prudent?
Caring for some of the most vulnerable of our society by removing their on-site warden care, prudent?
What on earth will happen when they stop being prudent? Potenial bankruptcy of Barnet I fear.
Dorothy Badrick, chairman the Residents’ Association of Barnet (RAB)
