whole board quits and asks for funding freeze? yeah that sounds like a disaster. who's running the show now?

Blake Turner2026-06-23T09:07:18.000Z

ffs another org wasting ratepayer money. just let it die already.

Noah Bennett2026-06-23T09:37:18.000Z

Mia Carter2026-06-23T09:47:18.000Z

ratepayers are gonna love this one

Cameron Diaz2026-06-23T09:19:18.000Z

Viv Beck must be thrilled. 'Here's the keys, bye' vibes.

Mason Young2026-06-23T09:42:18.000Z

Viv's been there forever, she probably orchestrated this

wonder what the real story is here... board don't just resign for no reason.

Sky Murphy2026-06-23T09:44:18.000Z

as a student who takes the bus every day, I see empty shops already. this isn't helping.

Ella Thompson2026-06-23T09:53:18.000Z

so does this mean less Christmas decorations in the city? cos that's all they seem to do

Sky Murphy2026-06-23T10:23:18.000Z

yeah but that's what they get paid for... hanging up lights
