Interesting find by Ed, a local resident, there was a small Notice in the paper stating:

“NOTICE OF INTENTION TO REAPPOINT CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER ”
Ed quite rightly asks the following question:

(To the advertising manager Manningham Leader.)

“Please tell me why this attached advert is not in the Leader newspaper and why wouldn’t a $310,000 job be advertised at this time of ratepayers rage.
Perhaps somebody more capable may apply?

Yours Ed.”

We do also need to ask the same question directly of Manningham council. I will post thier response. I have also asked Ed to confirm which section it was in.
