JUST A WHIM BUT GOOD LUCK BARRY MAGISTRATES

 19. Feb. 2010. – 16:07:37

The mantra of so many organisations especially within the civil service is "centralise" or "bigger is better". In any event it often means removing input of whatever description from a local area at point of contact or taking the button a long way from the buttonhole but putting an extra long chord on it. When this happens efficiency is as likely to be reduced as improved. My own experience with Her Majesty`s Court Service bears this out.

News has been released that administration work from the Vale Magistrates Court in Barry will be transferred to Bridgend. This type of thinking leads me to ask would government or this one in particular only be satisfied if every form of administration were transferred to a huge new "administrative capital city" somewhere between Milton Keynes and Newcastle on Tyne where a million civil servants could all live together in a bomb proof concrete underground place called Britannica and run the country as they do now except they would have nobody to blame for the trouble they`d cause except their own blind mistaken confidence in centralisation.
