SIR - It was no surprise to learn that tough budget decisions will have to be made in the years ahead.
But our council will still waste money, like throwing snow to the sun.
The overspend on the North Devon recycling centre at Roundswell, which they say will be about �1 million, will probably, if the truth be known, more like �2 million.
If that is not bad enough, they then threw away another �19,000 on boffins to try and find out where the overspend is.

Surely someone in the Civic Centre could work out where the money has been spent. You would not need to be the sharpest knife in the drawer to do that. Back to the budget. I suggest that Councillor Des Brailey wanders through the Civic Centre and looks in each department and sorts out the deadwood. That would save a few bob.
