The CAB's chief executive, Sylvia Valentine, had been complaining that the bureau has had cuts in its funding and had to reduce its service.
Mrs Lee is right to question the service provided by the CAB in relation to the amount of funding it receives from our council.
The CAB's opening hours have been reduced and we read that it is also receiving money from HBOS to fund its telephone advice line.
Recently a notice has been displayed locally that the CAB is now also funded by another organisation to provide housing advice.
For me this raises the question of what Calderdle Council funds the CAB to do. I had thought council funding was in part to provide these services and yet we read that other funders seem to be paying for them too.
A previous writer to Your say has pointed out that the CAB's advertised opening hours throughout Calderdale now total only around 40.
Here in Elland we get only four hours and even then the open session often doesn't run. Usually no explanation is offered for this.
I can't understand why the CAB has kept the Elland premises for only a few hours once a week. These are prime town- centre premises and must cost a lot to rent. Why, then, didn't the CAB run the telephone advice line from there instead of from other premises?
If these issues are puzzling me and other writers to Your say why are those people who make the decisions about council funding not asking these same questions of the CAB?
Instead of invoking sympathy I am afraid that Mrs Valentine's letter has caused many people to actually question the CAB's value for money.
Whitchever way you look at it, the CAB is not appearing as to give very good value for the large amount of money it gets from our council and which we, as council taxpayers, all contribute to.
