If the earth does grow inhospitable toward human presence, it is primarily because we have lost our sense of courtesy toward the earth and its inhabitants.

This almost made me weep!

Earlier today this Tender Invitation fell onto the [porthole] desk; HPBC are offering an invitation to tender for a company to sell advertising on council assets!

To quote HPBC: “High Peak Borough Council and Staffordshire Moorlands District Council are looking for suitably experienced companies to engage and work with them to identify and adminster a project for income opportunities through the sale of advertising space on council assets and to ensure the councils receive a percentage income of the revenue generated.”

HPBC can’t open a swimming pool, HPBC have virtually closed down our “traditional markets”, Buxton is haemorrhaging small businesses with shops closing down almost weekly, Buxton risks loosing a Fire Engine and the silence from HPBC is palpable, I won’t even mention the Crescent fiasco or Nestle. All this and HPBC want to sell advertising on their assets – what assets?

Well if you want to get into bed with this bunch, here’s the link: http://www.theconstructionindex.co.uk/tenders/index/view/ref/2011|S%2056-091312/previous/ and may your God have mercy on you and your staff team!
