I've come to the conclusion that paying the council tax is solely to keep council workers in WORK,
and absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with providing services....
Yesterday, a JCB with shovel came into my cul-de-sac, to clear the road. It's been that bad that
workers have had to park their cars on the main road for fear of getting stuck in the cul-de-sac.
I watched the JCB clearing the first part of the cul-de-sac.... it took no more in total than 20 minutes..
However, the amount of times the Council worker stopped... to chat to fellow workers... and then
stopped again for a break... one hour plus. To summarise... I've never seen such a SLOW worker in
my life..
I spoke to the worker just as he started...to help by moving my car across to the other side, that
he had cleared... so he could clear the bit where my car was... He told me, that for the last
fortnight - he had been doing 12 hour shifts...every day... Well I'm no surprised at the rate
he was moving...
I've always said that councils don't like using GRIT because it's an expense that doesn't pay the
workers or keep jobs.
Sorry folks... rant over..
