have to cover prime agricultural land The condition of roads is distressing she says says one staff report she read referred to the Fifth Line in hired consultant for existence since as a studies preroad If that Is a Moulden points to the preroad somebody spent on Site F doity something they dump studies and legal should be doing munity and become part of an us against them club A good example of the lack of managerial ex at the region Is the way staff is handled Halton pays top wages Moulden notes and should have top flight staff with lots of ex pertise However ob viously the needed ex pertise is missing because in the past two years the region only has handled Wood All members of council been gained a greater appre- of problems in all tains Tour wards and have thc worked together a
