Dear Mr Healey,In your capacity as Minister with responsibility for Local Government I know that you will be keeping on top of all the exciting developments brought to the county of Somerset through our joint venture company SouthWest One. Our current customer base provides a very impressive list which is also easy to remember being a round number. As you are aware we had hoped to have been granted the status of a Unitary Authority to manage the affairs of the county better and look after the thousands of frail and needy folk within it. Instead we have been trying to urge cooperation upon the District councils who would benefit so much from joining us in seeking procurement savings. For some extraordinary reason the District councils have shown less than outright enthusiasm. I feel it is now time for them to be told a few home truths. After your recent experiences with the judges on Strictly I know you will understand. I simply hope that when you get back the red boxes of Whitehall you can kick them all into touch.
With best wishes and good luck for the next few rounds,
Jill X
