Councillors are there to represent their ward and to deal with their constituents' issues as quickly and as efficiently as possible. If my bin ain't being emptied and complaints through the bureaucratic channels have failed, then I want to walk round the block and see my local councillor; I do not want to spend sixty quid on a saver return to Oxford in order to discuss the matter. This is a disgrace and this councillor and her party should be ashamed of themselves.
