you may well ask. And also who decides what to spend it on.
About 18 months ago there was an article in the Coventry Telegraph telling us that Coventry had been given----or had found enough money to renew all of the street lights in the whole of Coventry and it was to start immediately. Ihave the date somewhere.
Iremember it well because , more than lighting we needed footpaths and roads repairing, but no-the wise men of the City decided to use it for lighting --against all opposition.
Can't say I have noticed new lights anywhere-maybe there were a few Ihave missed.
However..last week it was announced ---massive headlines in the Telegraph that Coventry had been given a grant to renew all of the lighting in the city.
Now- what happened to the other money?. Whose pockets did that go into.?
