Bovine excrement ain't cheap!

The only remarkable thing about it is how they've lasted that long.
It's like letting a troupe of excitable but clueless chimps loose as wedding planners and wondering why the wedding went down the pan.
What can be asserted without proof,

It goes back too my Nanna and Granda always voted Labour so I do,that's why they have lasted so long.

Aye, voting for the label, no thought involved, just a reactive tick in the voting booth.
I've voted for them all over the years in national politics, but never in local politics.

HBC are facing a £6 million budget deficit this year and although £8k is a drop in the ocean, spending it on a self promotional propaganda leaflet is indefensible......Odd that everyone but the SCABAL think the same.

Voting Labour is like giving a chimp a machine gun. 
I don't believe it.

£8000 is certainly no drop in the ocean. I could think of many more worthy causes that could be spent on. Imagine what 8k would do for one of the local food banks...
I believe everything and nothing

They're intoxicated with fripperies and preening self promotion.

Why not just eat them.

Eat what,, those sumptuous looking glossy brochures?!  :-\

I remember feeling distinctly nauseous when one dropped through our door.

I wonder if the 8k figure includes the cost of delivery.... I sincerely doubt it. Probably die-hard volunteers were used to do the delivering. I did note that ours got posted at around 9pm, which would suggest volunteers to me.

Hartbeat is usually delivered by a Tyneside based company, so the odds are that they dealt with this bumf, too. £4908 being the cost of distribution sort of backs up this theory.

Didn't they give about £1K to the food bank recently.

Such misplaced priorities

To be fair, HBC actually gave the Foodbank £10,000.

No, of course not. Eat the Councillors.
