WE are going to offer the new council boss up to £195,000 a year and a Swindon Card.
The chief executive should pay for one like any other mere mortal. Why do council employees get a free one and get discounts on council-owned (which we pay for and own) sports centres of up to 90 per cent?
Come on people of Swindon, now you know why we can't afford to have a good social services, or why your streets are not cleaned more often, and also why car parks are so expensive.
It's about time the council stopped giving away our money to our employees and started looking after the people that pay them.
