Plaid's opponents have tried to pin the blame on us for The Venture's problems.<br /><br /> Rather than join the pack, why don't you have the balls to question why The Venture was threatened with closure two weeks ago despite having more than £400,000 in income this year and a further £40,000 from the council immediately available for core costs?<br /><br />Why has the Venture's management been so slow in bidding for the Communities First funding stream of £316,000 over three years? Money that would have helped meet core costs.<br /><br /> Why has The Venture's manager promised in person three times in the last two months to provide financial details to Caia councillors and three times not delivered?<br /> <br /> Rather than the full facts, we are given snippets - such as the claim that Flying Start costs more for The Venture to deliver than the £33,600 it gets from the council.<br /> Upon checking, it costs just over £20,000 in staff costs to deliver this service with the remaining £13,000 going on core costs. On top of that, additional funding has been provided for equipment, training and staff accreditation as well as a further £13,000 in 2007-8 for major costs such as roof repairs, heating system repairs and sanding the floor.<br /><br /> Let's deal with facts and figures, not rumour, innuendo and lies.Plaid Whitegatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05757898330400853732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691671699575405507.post-81863032150963653442009-07-12T08:42:19.346+01:002009-07-12T08:42:19.346+01:00The photograph sums Lucas up to a tee, the shifty ...The photograph sums Lucas up to a tee, the shifty eyes, the smirk, that is just how he is, he is just unfriendly looking.Shadrachnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691671699575405507.post-41211248946014316632009-07-12T08:36:35.135+01:002009-07-12T08:36:35.135+01:00The Commissioning Strategy which involved a whole ...The Commissioning Strategy which involved a whole host of organisations was commenced in November 2007, we weren't elected until May 2008, so really it made not a blind bit of difference what we said in our leaflet.
