What if people from the West Riding or other areas use them? What happens if Hull people use East Riding's facilities?
Like you I am not familiar with the inner workings for local government, but East Riding'er's using HCC facilities shouldn't cost HCC more, as the facilities are already there. However this is about income and it is more to do with rateable values I guess, East Riding will have houses of a higher rateable value than those in Hull.
That encapsulates the insular, parochial, small town attitude which has bedevilled Hull for too long.
I know what you're all saying! But Brady said the new system of HCC keeping rates will affect us because we don't generate enough business rates! With us having small borders! That's the main reason he wants to extend to hessle, cott etc! Just thought I'd throw that one into the mix! And it doesn't matter what counter argument you have Mrs snooty from cott uses HCC facilities as much as anyone.
The business rates generated in Hull city centre and Hull's industrial areas are massive compared to those generated in small towns like Hessle and Cottingham.
What facilities? Sewers and binmen are location specific, perhaps you could detail some examples that are not pay-on-use?
Wasn't the 'Endeavor' school built out of the proceeds as well as the KC? Corner of Fountain Road/Beverley Road - now demolished, I think?
And Bettney and Wayne Chav from Hull use the facilities of the East Riding on their days out. The Mrs Snooty remark again demonstrates the attitude I referred to previously which holds Hull back.
I heard Mrs snooty from cott on the radio! Trust me she's out there! Because I said they should pay towards the upkeep of the city doesn't mean they have to pay more! If HCC had income from the outer villages we could all pay less! Hull will always be small if they stay small! So your remark about small mindedness couldn't be further from the truth! And is bettney actually a name? I'm off into willerby soon to use up their street lights & cctv
Do you not think that would mean those remainig in the East Riding would have to pay more? Didn't they hold a referendum?
They did & said no ( I wonder why? ) Surely if everyone paid into the same pot we'd all be better off & hopefully pay less? And we'd have an even better city with no closures to facilities?
