Fuel costs and next winter

摘要

I hate to spoil anyone's holidays - and anyway, those chief officers and cabinet members currently sunning themselves will certainly not be having copies of The MJ next to the sun cream - unless, of course, they're planning a picture for the back page. But, to get to the point, if I were at senior level on a local authority, I would be taking a long, hard revisit at existing contingency plans for the winter, which is only three months away, and considering the council's risk-management and communications strategy in the event of a tragedy.
