I FULLY agree with Graham Carpenter’s letter (Hereford Times, April 14,) regarding the huge increase in the Leominster Council precept of 38 percent for this year. This is parish council with very little clout, yet it has very big ideas. It is taking on more and more services from Herefordshire Council for which we already pay that council. In addition, it is purchasing larger premises in Corn Square because the existing offices are apparently unfit for purpose, yet West Street is still being retained.
Restrictions must be imposed on these power seeking people.
