Smug Alert 2.
Council Tax in total less than 400euro a year in La Bel Paese. UK council tax covered by lodgers.
No rubbish in the streets, see a policeman twice a day, everything works. Local council employs 11 people for 2500 residents. And why ?
No 5-a-day co-ordinator, anti-smoking co-ordinator, out reach workers of any kind, and no Olympics manager. Just to start with. Only one traffic warden who is only there on market day,to keep traffic flowing.
