I probably would have kept on guessing but about that time we crashed into that truck

We get word of the new corporate vision for Helminthdale Council...

Helminthdale Council will work to put service to the customer at the forefront of its activities.


It doesn't seem to occur to anybody to be embrassed that a local authority actually has to say this. Nor that it's taken the Council's Bobbing Up And Down Team eighteen months to come up with it.

"Helminthdale Council will strive ceaselessly on behalf of you, the client, to come up with new, pointless slogans".

So they'll be establishing a call centre then?

Kevin Musgrove said...

LWM: quite so. I've looked around: we are not alone...

Gadjo: not client, customer. "Client" suggests the council may be taking some degree of responsibility for the relationship.

Macy: we've got one! Actually, the call centre and the one-stop-shops are quite good but they give the rest of the organisation even more of an excuse not to want to have anything to do with the public.
