Well, I'm sure it's good value to them, especially if it helps to stop having to pass any funding or spare cash on to North Wales.

I say just round them up and put them in the (wheelie) bin laugh

I was about to write that the world had gone crazy, but I think we passed that threshhold quite some time back.

lunacy.

make no mistake, someone actually will have had to sign this off as a good idea!!

the person in question should be immedietly sacked, and then have to re-imburse the council out of their own pocket.

utter, utter lunacy.

things like this just make you feel so good when you pay your council tax each month dont they?!

That's my mates dad giving a few sentences at the end, a little surprising.

If you think that's bad, I used to work for a company who spent nearly 1/2 million on newt trapping. IIRC, only about 20 we caught in the end.

Ignoring the council wouldn't have even gained permission to build the road had it not provided environmental mitigation measures, it would of almost certainly had legal action taken against it if they knownly refused to comply with EU directives. I suspect that ultimately would of cost the tax payer more money.

I don't want to sound like I support the £190k spent on the mice, but it's not quite as simple as someone signing off 'a good idea'.

Thankfully the current government is having a
"cull" of these public service parasites, hopefully tey will get rid of some this Euro lunacy too.

Nobody fears foreigners as much as the South Walians.

Snot gargling monkeys will never have too much money due to the Welsh parliment being so far up it's own arse, it has trouble seeing anything beyond sh!t Cardiff rolleyes

It'll just come closer to home as the EA won't let the mice go without their public right of way. I think they should of trained the mice to walk on the ground and let them use a drainage route. It seems a much more sensible option to me.

Who says there is a North - South devide? smile

Born in the South and spending ever more time in the North, who should I support? I better go against my routes and side with the North, I'll only get linched if I stay true to my past - bloody Carwyn Jones and the rest of the WAG. How is that for a start?
