Who's bright idea was this?

I've lived in Cornwall long enough to know that the tourist industry is a key part of the economy and a large part of that depends on the beaches so why the hell have the council decided that they can't justify paying for the blue flag check this year? You are seriously telling me that you can't justify investing £820 a beach for an international quality award for 4 beaches when you know fine well you will more than make the money back.

Is it because of those nasty Tory cuts I wonder....?

Even with the cuts, once the season hits you more than make the money back in a single day from cap park fees alone. This is just another asinine decision from a miserly penny pinching council.
