Queen more expensive than mobile library
The €300,000 budget allocated for the visit of queen Beatrix to the northern village of Franekerdeel on Queen’s Day (April 30) is far too much and irresponsible, says the local GroenLinks party.
It points out that the mobile library service serving rural areas was axed last year after the council had to cut budgets by €35,000.
