IS ROTHERHAM COUNCIL RUN BY PRIVATE PROFIT MAKING COMPANY'S

Is this the reason we have to pay inflation busting council tax increases so we can ensure record profits for these private company's running our council services.

• Schools Built by private companies (at what cost to the tax payer)
• But at what cost to the tax payer Private companies work to make a profit
• Why can't the council build and run the schools then they would save the profit
• they are paying these companies and reduce the council tax.

• Waste collection By private companies (at what cost to the tax payer)
• Now they only collect the waste every two weeks and will not take extra waste in bags
• How much do the actually recycle how much of the Green bin content goes to landfill
• How much extra is it costing you the tax payer for this reduced service.

• Grass cutting and park maintenance By private companies ( at what cost to the tax payer)
• We only have to look around at the state of the Grass cutting and the state of the flower beds that's if you can find any. Most of our parks have been funded by local community groups with the council taking up to 10% fee from the funding then not maintaining the equipment then trying to claim the credit at election times when it was Local People working hard for free Groups such as Friends of Bradgate Park who did all the work.

• Council Tax collection, Purchasing, Call Centre. Plus many more services are run for the Council by RBT ( British Telecom ). But at what cost to you the Tax payer.
• Just how efficient are these services, are we getting a second rate service.
• How many times have you rang the call centre but could not get through
• How efficient are they at collecting the Council Tax, and other services they have taken over.
• Again is it a case of running on a shoe string to make more profit.
• Remember private companies don't work for you they work to make a profit for their share holders.
• We must ask the question why do the Council employ so many highly paid directors of services and department heads when most is contracted out why are they not capable of running the jobs them selves they get paid more than enough to do it.
• Or is it that the Ruling Labour Group (Labour Councillor's ) are not capable of knowing how to run the show, it makes me wonder. No wonder they keep things secret.
• ROTHERHAM THE FREE BANK
• If they are so short of money and have to cut services and have to put up our council tax to balance the books.
• THEN HOW CAN THEY FIND THE MONEY TO LEND OUT FREE OF INTEREST AND NO PAYBACK TIME SCALE TO PRIVATE ORGANISATIONS.
