For immediate release
Responding to reports that Surrey Heath may be facing effective bankruptcy in the next two years, John O’Connell, chief executive of the TaxPayers' Alliance, said:
“Local residents will fear that the council’s financial recklessness will lead to tax rises and service cuts.
“Time and time again town hall bosses play monopoly with taxpayers’ cash only to walk away with a pay day when it all goes wrong, as residents are left to pick up the pieces.
“Town hall bosses should focus on key service delivery and leave property speculation to the professionals.”
