If you are one of those who actually run the County and make things work in Nottinghamshire and are fortunate enough not be made redundant then you must keep out the way and use the back door at County Hell.
Only elected members, senior officers (see below) and visitors are permitted in the front entrance according to a new directive from the Vogon. I understand that it was to be for Cabinet Members and their guests only as it was thought by some that we really can't have un-bred Labour and Liberal Democrat members making the place look untidy. They might invite all sorts of riff-raff along like trade unionists and working-type people.
However, I'm glad to say that was seen as a Vogon policy too far.

Vogon space ships?
It seems that over the years a number of UFO sightings have taken place in West Bridgford. See here for a summary of recent ones.
There are some who think this may have something to do with recent increased Vogon activity reported at County Hell.

A top heavy Council
Managing 3,000 fewer people is going to be a nightmare for Vogon Cutts, Subsidy junkie Laughton, second hand car dealer Jackson, "I sold Notts County to the highest bidder" Kerry, the Quidsins and others. That's why we not only have 3 extra cabinet positions (with extra allowances) but to help them out 14 senior officer posts on over £100k p.a. instead of the 10 before the Vogons landed.

Told you so
Firstly apologies for not posting for a few weeks. I'm still here and still watching.
It really is with regret that I note my predictions and leaks from County Hell have proved to be an underestimate of the true Vogon/second hand car salesman/Masonic proposals. I said here that 531 jobs would have to go for starters to pay for the misguided policies such as Bruce Laughton's anti-bus plug and Richard Jackson's anti-tram strategies. Now it has become clear that was a complete underestimate of costs. The Chilwell second hand car dealer's latest ploy to try to stop the tram will for instance cost another £200,000 with a futile and unnecessary public inquiry whilst Bruce Laughton plans his next move. Another top director is needed on top of all the spin doctors to work out how to implememt all this see here for details.
The top and bottom is that 3000 jobs, including almost the entire permanent Library staff will have to go.
See here for what a complete joke this council has become.

Spain celebrates
Spain wakes up this morning to celebrate as World Cup winners. They also have something else to celebrate; Nottinghamshire County Council are going to help their banking industry.
Last November I revealed how the County planned to sell off their care homes, some of which sit on very valuable building land. In the new year, following a 13,000 petition the Vogon administration announces a 12 month moritorium on the sale. Less than 12 weeks later they placed an advert in the national press for the homes. Now I can announce that the sale should be complete by September and the prferred bidder is the Spanish owned Santander Bank.
Of course, once they've looked up where such places as Chilwell and Worksop are, they may turn out be an excellent provider of care, especially for those with Alzhiemers - or they may just turn out to want to maximise their profits and keep an eye on the day centres which also sit on valuable building plots and will soon be up for grabs.
Spain is laughing all the way to the bank this morning.

More to come
It took time but the story below was eventually published in the Nottingham Evening Post (see here) and is now causing quite a few within County Hell to snigger under their breath and leak nicely.
As we approach the silly season I suggest that Vogons will need to watch their backs and keep an eye on this site.
There's more to come

Welcome to the Parish of **********shire
A directive has now been issued from the Vogon leader that officers must not in future refer to "Greater Nottingham" or "the connurbation".
This would be comical if it weren't so serious.
It appears that in her desperation to have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the City of Nottingham, the County leadership are willing to sacrifice our future prosperity. Nottingham is one of the 8 core cities outside London which are seen as the economic drivers of the country. That puts us into direct competition with Manchesater, Birmingham, Newcastle, Leeds, Sheffield and further afield Amsterdam, Barcelona, Cologne and Lyon for investors. Whereas our competitors have unified authorities singing from the same hymn sheet we will now be seen as a tiny fragmented outpost.
In fact it will make us a laughing stock of the European Commercial world.
However, I have put this notice up here as I know this site is visited by most officers of the County and I would like to warn them that if they continue to fight for our regions prosperity and don't want to see the Greater Nottingham connurbation become an unemployment blackspot, then their jobs, like many in the area could be on the line.
As they say on the planet Vogon; "You gets what you votes for"
