If he spent more time walking around Blackburn Road instead of Rochester, Heywood, the USA and various African jaunts, maybe he could speak with some kind of authority on the situation. Maybe, instead of banging on about how the government are failing, notwithstanding the fact that we have a Labour run council and a Labour run county council who hold the pursestrings, he should name and shame the sections of our community who openly flout road safety laws on a daily basis without consequence.
To put my own slant on his comments..I'm worried about the Labour councils attitude to safety. Why have they constantly ignored the issues on Blackburn Road. Since forever they have failed to deliver on parking, loading and highway code guidance.....
If a Labour council and County Council cannot deliver on traffic legislation..why on earth would anyone believe his hype that a Labour run government could do any different??? |
We won't get anything from our MP, LCC or Local Councillors until after Christmas when the scramble for votes in next years election gets under way.
When my local councillors came calling and I asked about the flouting of parking and red light jumping I was informed that it was not the Local Council - either the Company contracted for maintaining parking etc. and LCC for Traffic Light cameras.
Who the hell looks after the interests of our electorate?
