Taxpayers will want to sit down before reading this. Labour-controlled Manchester council are cushioning recent cuts by splurging £50,000 on 140 designer chairs. The furniture fat cats bought 90 Vitra’ chairs at £387 each and 28 ‘Modus’chairs at £289 each to glam up the local library, as well as 16 ‘Hitch’ and 6 other ‘Vitra‘ office chairs worth an additional £10,000. Town hall pen-pushers can’t provide exact costings because it would take too long to search their accounts. Taxpayers’ concerns have disappeared “Pouffe!” into thin air.

LibDem John Leech says:

“For a council that claims poverty and blames Government cuts every single time… their ability to find pockets of money for vanity projects is utterly incredible, and absolutely shameless.”

They are reasonably priced chairs. Seriously, how much would you expect to pay for chairs that last several years of use by the public?

Non-story made public by a councillor who should spend more time engaging with residents.

Just bristling with a sense of Victorian built to last.

They might be reasonably priced in that London but up here you can get a house for 4s.6d
 
Manc in London , you must be the most deluded Muppet on the planet after Maureen if you think that £50,000 on chairs is a good deal. Manchester city council are a complete and utter bunch of fuckwits
