For whose advantage?

A full-page colour advert in the Star on 14 March, 2007, was placed by Advantage West Midlands, an unelected, undemocratic body.

This is one of the bodies that is going to spend our money wisely if we become part of the city region.

There is no new money, just a better distribution of old money. If they waste money, like the cost of this advert full of self praise, then what hope is there?

The unelected bodies full of Tony's cronies should be consigned to the waste bin and money given direct to elected local bodies.

This is just another layer of unwanted bureaucracy and jobs for the boys.
