In view of your two articles recently which highlight how Thames Valley Police have spent £100,000 on a new website, £30,000, £40,000 on a fine plus another £25,000 costs for breaching Health & Safety regulations by shooting themselves – I feel all of these costs could have easily been avoided.
Obviously Thames Valley Police are not bothered at all at how they waste the public’s money and they will just add it to next year’s council tax bill, so that local people pay for their incompetence and selfishness.
What will it be next? Free food in the police station canteen? Or what about new windows or air conditioning? Don’t worry as the taxpayer will foot the bill.
