55 / District Councillor Report – Cllr Spencer Flower
No report this month.
"SHARED services between Christchurch and East Dorset councils are proving popular with residents, according to a new survey" reads the report. It would be interesting to hear how many of those surveyed actually used the "Shared Services". My experiences of the new shared services show a distinct lack of professionalism compared to the service we enjoyed from C.B.C. I think it is now only a matter of time before we become a parish of EDDC.t
