Why dont adjacent councils pool many of their admin services to save money, maybe they will need to when the cuts come. I suppose they all hang on to their indepenance and jobs. Maybe for Kent there should just be a few councils and not the two tier system, has this been costed? East Kent could be stand alone from Maidstone led KCC and determine its own destiny.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-80633287842276918842009-08-09T08:52:02.620+01:002009-08-09T08:52:02.620+01:00Of course we have a strategy... but on Thursday, a...Of course we have a strategy... but on Thursday, approval was sought for a new strategy from 2009!.<br /><br />We have an existing IT budget too but in view of the public sector finances catastophe about to fall on all councils, we need to review the same and make savings where possible.<br /><br />As for "Best of breed", I'm not sure what planet 21:33 comes from. The public sector has rarely had "Best of Breed" because it simply can't afford it. That pleasure goes to big Government projects like the Health Service NPfIT where "Best of Breed" invariably fails horribly and expensively.<br /><br />Please refer to my "Kalashnikov Theory" of eGovernment!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03755236438987278120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-82301957774944824932009-08-08T21:33:03.615+01:002009-08-08T21:33:03.615+01:00How many councils are there in England?
