| Phillipa, you missed my point. The council can certainly tell us there’s a drinking fountain in a park but they don’t need to do it via a full page story with pictures in a magazine subsidised by council tax payers. By their own admission a lot of people who have Around Ealing shoved through their doors don’t even open it, it goes straight into the bin. Now, if you are concerned about environmental impacts consider the energy used to produce 100,000 plus copies, let alone the ink and other nasties used in the production process. These magazines are then transported somehow, no doubt in a non electric vehicle, and then magically make their way to homes across the borough. I know something about journalism and publishing and believe me, this drinking fountain story would have been little more than a NIB in a normal publication. Meanwhile budgets are squeezed elsewhere. Don’t forget this is our money they are spending. |
