I do know peole working for our council whowere once very passionate but have just been worn down by the system of inaction and corruption. Good things don't get done because they are very deliberately prevented from happening, in favour of more power-grabbing measures that benefit, ultimately, no-one.

I'm hesitant to agree - not because I think you're wrong, but because I've worked in several Government/ Council/ Civil Service positions which mean I've been privy to a lot of information which would suggest that the lay understanding of the economics of organisation is off-mark somewhat. By this I mean, if you take an area the size of, say, Liverpool, it is generally beyond a single human's comprehension just how many things will be needed for that sort of area, hence discrimination by borough, hence mistakes and apparant beurocracy. I will say this much, of all the places I've worked, I was most shocked by the Police's latent racism.
