Councillors Peter Spencer, Dev Dodeja (both pictured) and Eleonor Spencer attended the reopening of the Station Way Post Office.
Cllr. Gary Hunt, the Liberal Democrat councillor for Knighton writes in the local press about the burning issue of Pennbury;
Councillors have recently been told that Gedling Borough is heading for a £498,200 overspend on this year's budget. This enormous overspend is the only one we can remember in the last 26 years. It's taken Gedling's ruling Tories just 15 months of slackness to turn a financially sound council into a financial mess.
The news gets worse.
Every year Gedling's Leisure Department increases its prices for the use of its leisure centres, pitches, etc. Last year it put up the prices by too much and takings dropped by £85,000!
