Also, it seems that the Local Council Chief Executive Officers, who are usually from the small coterie of Public Administration Lawyers have a vested interest in providing work for their brothers and sisters in the profession.

I also noted that when a friend had a personal injury claim against a Council, she was being badgered by the insurers lawyer to put her claim through another lawyer.

Each week you see the eye watering lawyers costs thrown up by various forms of mal administration.

Yes. The Peterboro Diocese (?) has a history of selling off its jewels. They forget that God is not very forthcoming in creating new land in this sceptical isle. They sold land in Boothville just after we moved here that had been allocated for a local church - went to a builder of houses, and so damn you christians, go somewhere else to pray.

Often wonder how much skin in the game these planning officers have.
