Councillors have received training on how to deliver bad news about cutbacks to members of the public.
The session for members of Bucks County Council focused on 'top tips and useful practice in how to give difficult messages to both friendly and challenging audiences', according to deputy leader Cllr Bill Chapple.

Bucks County Council is having to make massive spending cuts which total more than £30 million.

Next week, all senior BCC employees and councillors will attend a five day residential course at Hartwell House. The course is entitled "how to deliver bad news about cutbacks to members of the public without cracking a smile" with units covering "which offshore account is best for investing my huge salary" and "do you think making a saving of £30million is enough in light of the Governments' plans to build its executive train set". On the last three days of the course, there will be time to sample fine wines especially shipped in, with hints and tips from leading experts on how to choose which wine with which meal and a special seminar entitled "is it worth paying less than £50 for a bottle of wine these days?".
On the final day there will be an afternoon brainstorming session entitled "what the heck, let's just get rid of anyone earning less than us"

Of course, Bucks CC only lost government funding of a couple of million.

All the other millions of pounds worth of cut's are down to their own financial mis-managment.
