[QUOTE="binky, post: 449021, member: 490"] don't hear much of the 'twinning' program these days. Such trips were more about local councillors than the councils themselves, but there certainly isn't any budgets for such things these days. Councils do also have some impetus to try and improve trade / promote business, such as the lighting projects I posted on here 2 years ago. If a project can be shown to be self financing, within 5 years, they can borrow money at 0% from central government. Trouble with the self-financing of councils by 2020 is that this will hit poorest areas hardest, along with countryside councils. Areas with reasonable economies and high population densities ie lots of people to pay council tax should fair OKish, but still with a 50% cut in funding, guess who's going to fill the financial hole????? I don't feel sorry for the countryside as they keep voting Tory :innocent [/QUOTE]
