Barnet have appointed Brian 'Mr Toad' Coleman as Cabinet Member for the Environment.This is the same Mr Toad of course, whose environmental policies so far have included:
- Being the sole objector to a wind turbine at a Barnet school
- Turning Potters Fields into a multi-storey car park,
- Building a road across a primary school playing field,
- Partingdale Lane
True to form, Coleman croaked:
"My priorities are roads, roads, roads and roads." *
One can only assume that this is part of Barnet's EasyCouncil approach - so if we want someone in charge of the environment who gives two hoots about it, we must pay extra.
In separate moves, Barnet have made Ronnie Biggs responsible for safeguarding the money, left the cats to mind the mice and put the lunatics in charge of the asylum.
* He really did say this!
