WITH reference to an almost unbelievable article in the Daily Mail of September 13, will someone please tell me that it is not true that Cornwall county council has an equality and diversity officer.

Does the council really waste money on a salary for that idiotic nonsense? How many more non-jobs are there in the council?

And is the council commissioning a long-winded and expensive survey about the fire service, like it did with that £132,000 survey of public footpaths when every walker could have told the council the details for nothing?
