Also glad a contingency fund put aside,,,just in case fatty boy Pickles changes his mind (again)
Don't agree with the amount of contingency for business rate appeals, if he business rate was worked correctly in the 1st place there would be no need to appeals, also the Leader Economy Fund seems more of slush fund fro Cllr Williams

Nice to see the Mayor getting a new motor.
The citizens of Southampton will all benefit from that.
