Lord Noel's Nose Is Sniffing The Wind Of Change

Whatto! Taxpayers..... 

This gentleman is Peter Davies...............

He has been elected as Mayor of Doncaster in South Yorkshire after promising to:

1. Slash council spending

2. Clear the streets of yobs

3. Ditch politically correct services


Quite a tall order....I think you'll agree..............
But on his very first morning he cut his own salary from £73,000 to £30,000!..........
SAVINGS RUNNING TOTAL: £43,000
...... then closed the council’s newspaper for "peddling politics on the rates".
SAVINGS RUNNING TOTAL: £193,000
Now - three weeks into his job - Mr Davies is pressing ahead with plans he hopes will see the number of town councillors cut from 63 to just 21, saving taxpayers another £800,000!....
SAVINGS RUNNING TOTAL: £993,000
Mr Davies says: "If 100 senators can run the United States of America , I can’t see how 63 councillors are needed to run Doncaster! "...........
He has withdrawn Doncaster from the Local Government Association and the Local Government Information Unit, saving another £200,000!
Their crest (featured below) has the latin inscription......which (roughly translated) means "manage on less!"......how very apt!

Mr Davies said, "They are just talking shops"."
SAVINGS RUNNING TOTAL: £1,193,000
Doncaster is also in for some serious untwinning...............
"We are twinned with probably nine other cities around the world and they are just for people to fly off and have a binge at the council’s expense"........... How refreshingly honest!
SAVINGS RUNNING TOTAL: £1,700,000
The mayor’s chauffeur-driven car has also been axed by Mr Davies and the driver given another job.............
SAVINGS RUNNING TOTAL: £1,730,000
Mr Davies, born and bred in Doncaster, swept to power in the May election with 24,244 votes as a candidate for the English Democrats......... a party that wants tight immigration curbs, an English Parliament and a law forcing every public building to fly the flag of St. George...........


SAVINGS RUNNING TOTAL: £1,500,000 (Minus cost of flags - made in GB)
He has promised to end council funding for Doncaster ’s International Women’s Day, Black History Month and the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender History Month.......
He said, "Politicians have got completely out of touch with what people want..............
We need to cut costs!.......
SAVINGS RUNNING TOTAL: £2,240,000

........and I want to pass on some savings I make in reduced taxes and use the rest for things we really need, like improved children’s services"
Mr Davies has received messages from well wishers across the country and abroad as news of his no-nonsense approach spreads.
We may well be hearing more from him...........

What would YOU do away with ...if you were Mayor?

Tallyho!
