There's been a thread running for the last week about proposed works on E.D.G./Townley Rd.


Here is the thread:-

http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,1426742,1428972,page=2#msg-1428972



Several of us have been wondering just how much this proposal would cost, if implemented. I am familiar with the official figure.


So, this is a good opportunity to give everyone the opportunity to guess the amount. To keep it totally fair, I would ask that the estimates be sent to me by PM.


No Council employees may enter.


The prize is a bottle of wine and it will go to the bidder that is nearest - to the last penny. There is one prize and to avoid any possible duplicates, your bid should be in pounds AND MUST ALSO HAVE PENCE. There should be no zeros in the digits of the pounds value in your bid.



I will keep the competition open for, say, 48 hours and then I will post the actual amount and the name of the winner.


Good luck


Tom

    • Very happy to add my recommendation for Leon, who has now helped me out twice. Prompt, efficient and helpful.
    • Today we are seeing the impact of increased taxes (employers NI) with tje UK unemployment rate rising  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cdxrp7znkdlo Unfortunately, to increase tax burdens will see the economy stall or a recession, as Angelina says, cutting spending, whilst painful short term, is a good way to bring down government borrowing.  True, we don't want to see cuts to services but there are other areas of government spending that can be reduced and with AI impacting all jobs across all businesses, maybe it will also reduce overall staffing costs. 
    • or cut costs.  The cost of debt is a huge burden, it cannot be increased.
    • Yes, they should clearly have been more honest on taxes before the election and not backed themselves into a corner. After 14 years of mismanagement and decline, they have to invest and at the same time start to bring borrowing down (otherwise they continues to be at the mercy of the bond markets). Continued cuts / degrading of public services is counter productive (a successful economy and society needs good infrastructure, education and health care).  The single biggest thing they could do to immediately improve growth would be to rejoin the single market, but I appreciate that is difficult politically.  So if you can't significantly boost growth short term, can't cut too much further, and need to raise money without borrowing, that only really leaves taxation.    Of course, where best to target those taxes - that's the real question.
