last time they did a skip drop and area clean up near us was just before I was due to have major renovation work done on the house, so I had a massive clear out and planned to get a skip myself...however the week after the clear out the local councillor susan shorrock did a leaflet drop and door knock to make sure everyone was aware it was happening.
I told her it was a great idea but with it being saturday morning when the major clean up was taking place and the skips were due to be collected early pm I was unlikely to get much down to where they were as it would take quite a few car loads.
She asked to see how much and said she would see what she could do..
Saturday comes.... took lads to footy... came back and the whole lot had been cleared...quickly dashed down to where the skips were to see them off loading a van full of my stuff into the skips.
fantastic or what??!!!
And before anyone comments on using council vans to move rubbish..it was her own family members who were helping her out with their own transport.
couple of days later radio lancs came round the area to ask what we thought about what had been done but due to me being at work I wasn't there to comment, luckily my friend thanked Mrs shorrock on air for going the extra mile on my behalf
Now thats what I call a hard working councillor
