Well, what do you know, The Telegraph (not our normal daily read) has published a feature about Britain's Best Councils.
Modesty prevents us telling you who they think is ninth best!
Welcome to…
...the blog of the Sandwell Abbey Ward Labour councillors.-

How much did you pay the Daily Telegraph for this unadulterated propaganda Bob…..?
Or did you treat the journalist to a slap-up curry and a few pints of Banks’s at The Vine in his fave Sandwell suburb of West Bromwich…..?
I am sure this ringing endorsement from The Daily Torygraph for West Bromwich will have local MP Tom Watson dancing along The Cronehills Linkway……….!!!!!!
You may want to talk Sandwell down Keith, with your obsession for Birmingham…but some of us are happy to hear it praised.
The Green Party clearly have a dislike for Sandwell being praised. What a thing to say suggesting some sort of bribe. Disgusting!
I feel queasy every time I look at the Torygraph. But thanks for the cracking picture of the Engine House and the canal.
Having lived in many different areas, under both Tory, Labour and no overall control, I have to say that Sandwell council offers a very good service and has recently tried to keep council tax rises low after a few years of being OTT. So no I wasn’t surprised by this report …. Especially when you see the goings on down the road in Birmingham…. Anyone like the new sexist statue outside the new library. A liberal / socialist view of the modern family without men?
