Wrong City

Birmingham City Council have admitted that they spent £15,000 sending out self congratulatory pamphlets bearing an image of Birmingham Alabama rather than our own fair(ish) city.

Setting aside the pratt factor of getting the wrong city, it begs the question "why are they wasteing the money on that."

No doubt the council are proud, and not unreasonably so, to have achieved their recycling targets early, but that could have been communicated on their website, and through the local press without it costing the hard pressed taxpayers of Brum.

£15,000 is not a lot when compared to the total budget, but it sets the wrong example. Sort it out Whitby.
