Council needs more investigation

I refer to the excellent letter (CCN January 19) under the name of Kevin Brooks criticising Central Coast Council’s present administration.

Mr Brooks, whom I do not know, is right on the money.

The rates increase, supposedly temporary, and the quantum of money approved by IPART, certainly needs investigation.

 Who is to do this? Ratepayers have to speak up.

Why were staff made redundant and now we are employing more?

This … is typical Government bureaucracy at work; snow the ratepayers, feed them rubbish and continue to run an inefficient Council.

Well done Mr Brooks.
