Cambridgeshire Children In Care Prostitution Fears.

Children as young as 12 years living in Cambridgeshire County Council care homes are feared to be involved in prostitution.

This is not the first time that the County Council has been involved in child abuse.

Several years ago there was the notorious LAVERACK case involving Cambridgeshire County Council employees abusing young children.

As usual the Council bleated “Lessons will be learned”.

Dorset Council Negligence Kills Pensioner.

Charles Hurst died after he tripped over a loose paving slab on Poole High Street. Dorset, on the same morning that a Council official decided that the slab WAS NOT DANGEROUS.

Photographs in a national newspaper show the high street in question to be dangerous.

Cambridgeshire County Council Greed Curbed.

Conservative County Councillors on the Council voted themselves a 25% INCREASE in allowances.

Now a genuine independent review panel has decided that County Councillors should NOT receive any increase and that allowances must NOT rise.

So voters, remember that Conservative Councillors INCREASED your council tax AND tried to vote themselves a 25% INCREASE personal allowances.
