Nope.
Wath once again made the headlines recently because *Rotherham Metropolitan
Borough Council* is selling off the local secondary school's playing fields
to subsidize their overspending:-(
Not reported nationally was that they have also closed down Montgomery Hall,
the only local venue of any size, which is used extensively by the *local*
community for various shindigs, some of whivh I have attended and *greatly*
enjoyed.
The Wath councillors have not to my knowledge professed any opposition to
these policies. Neither have they offered to forego their expenses claims;-)
