Blimey heck, a Freedom of Info request has revealed that the cost of the 'Arrow', NCC's glossy propaganda rag, has shot up by a factor of nearly 9 times in 5 years.
In 2004/05, it cost £47,968 but this had risen to £417,810 by 2008/09. The big jump seems to have been between 2005/06 and 2006/07 when the cost shot up from £80,299 to £258,106.
But you've got to admit, it's a page turner and no mistake and I'm sure we all agree it's worth every penny.
Update; apparently they've increased the frequency of publication, thanks Cllr Foster
For that price you'd think they'd actually be able to get one through everyone's door wouldn't you.
