May I join RD Waldron (EA Jan 8) in congratulating council leader Mike Bawden for the investigation and exposure of the spendthrift attitude of Swindon council during the last 25 years.
It is good to see someone taking the time and trouble to sort things out.
May I ask however why it has taken Mike Bawden this long for the penny to drop? He has been a councillor for more than 30 years, long enough to have noticed any faults years ago.
Is it possible that we will be told about the pension fund deficiencies by Coun Bawden in 2023 or a little earlier.
