What are we paying the PR department for?

It seems we are paying Christian Hanagan Head of PR and Strategy at RCT CBC a tidy sum to churn out not only endless Labour propaganda but endless repeats of Labour propaganda.
A department that costs over a MILLION POUNDS  a year in staff salaries alone and this is the level of press release we get.  (Please note this is attributed to RCT CBC, the link to their site.  Wouldn’t want them to go un-attributed.)
Thanks to representations by its local Councillors, Tonyrefail town centre is the latest area to benefit from Rhondda Cynon Taf Council’s £10m Highways Investment Scheme.”
Now when they did the roads in Trallwn where was the mention of local Councillors then?  Or the regeneration scheme in Pontypridd?  Why the difference?  Oh, of course they are not Labour wards.
Presumably Mr Hanagan wants to make sure he keeps in with his dear mother – make sure he is in the will, or perhaps she just does a terrific Sunday roast!   Because of course she is none other than Tonyrefail Councillor and Cabinet Member Eudine Hanagan.  She is pictured alongside Russell Roberts and Bob McDonald.
But to really rub salt in and emphasize just how much they are extracting the urine take a look at this
Yes, the RCT CBC website again.  And yes the same photo and even the same opening paragraph.   Three months ago.
“Thanks to representations by its local Councillors, Tonyrefail town centre is the latest area to benefit from Rhondda Cynon Taf Council’s £10m Highways Investment Scheme.”
I know RCT are trying to up its recycling rate but this is ridiculous.  And just in case you miss it on the Council web site then you can see the same story and picture on the Tonyrefail Labour party site.  Work is obviously cracking on apace.
Taxpayers’ money being spent for their benefit.  What was that again about hypocritical parasites?

Ah yes, as a Tonyrefail resident myself I have been waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting for all these wonderful promises to come about. Maybe the wonderful Christian Hanagan should start the work he so eloquently keeps describing? I am delighted they are delighted (a much overused word in Council parlance I'd say!

It's March now, according to my calendar. When is the showcase event going to occur ?
Are we all invited ?

Anyone know why the paving blocks outside Po Sang Chinese are missing - instead there is a 3m slab of concrete.
