Propaganda sheet escapes the cuts

Swansea residents will doubtlessly be relieved to learn that despite savage cuts to front-line services, fortnightly refuse collections imposed on communities and lost teaching jobs, the local authority has decided that safeguarding its free bi-monthly Swansea Leader propaganda sheet is an absolute priority.

Coming in at £84,000 to produce last year – a snip compared to the tennis centre – this vital communication tool has kept the public in touch with important messages such as Businesses hail city’s bright future” and “City centre makeover fuels trader optimism; not to mention the crucial news that Visitors are thrilled at new-look Civic Centre”. There can be no doubt that the Lib Dem-run administration is making sure that people are kept up to date with what really matters - and hey, it woz Labour what started it anyway.

So have no worries. Despite warnings of tough times ahead, you can be sure that Swansea Council will keep you in the picture – no matter what the cost (to you, that is).
