By Giuseppe De Santis -Local papers continuously report stories about councils making cuts and local politicians are always ready to blame the coalition for their unpopular decision.

But how much money are local authorities wasting every year?

Below we can reveal the amount of money that some local authorities wasted on interpreters and translation in the last financial year; we have got those figures by making Freedom of Information requests.

Nationalists should take note as not one of our useless MSM will ever report this.
