Oh! And it gets better, or should that be worse?
The cleansing department now admit that they have a fourteen day backlog for clearing waste. A backlog that they themselves have allowed to build up. Surely the way to proceed is to keep the bu**ers working until it is cleared up. This isn’t rocket science folks, it really isn’t that difficult!
But then HBC have to deal with the worst absenteeism record in the County. This following Britcliffes announcement that HBC is the envy of other local authorities. Which would be laughable were it not so depressingly and obviously WRONG!

And HBC’s Cabinet’s response to this crisis of Absenteeism?
Britcliffe: “This has been the subject of the widest consultation and there has been much discussion among everyone concerned”

Pity you didn’t think to consult me, Peter. I could have saved you the trouble.

“We need to recognise that we have had problems with absenteeism and that something needs to be done to solve it.”

So, you mean, you didn’t already know that? Or do you mean that having the worst absenteeism record in the county isn’t always a problem?
Readers will note here that the one thing he doesn’t say is “We had a problem, but it has been sorted out.”

He goes on, “ People pay their Council Tax and we are the guardians of that money. We have a responsibility to make sure we run as efficiently as possible.”

There are new guidelines to deal with this crisis which, we are assured, are “well drawn up and user friendly” and they are That what was a verbal warning will now become a First Caution and what was a Written Warning will now become a Final Caution.

Brilliant! Just Brilliant! Breathtaking! I am amazed!

It is audacious! It is simple! It is bold! It is Authoritative!

And it won’t make a ha’porth of difference !

So bear this in mind when you are surrounded by a sea of rotting refuse, HBC really care and would get around to clearing it up, if only they could persuade some of their workers to actually come in to work now and again. But they are doing their best!

It’s just a pity that their best falls so far short of everybody’s standards.
