[Margaret Pilkington]

The council, the last one, spent God knows how much of our money putting a fancy surface down on Broadway and within weeks the blooming stuff was coming off........the contractors had to be called back to re-surface a stretch of it....the surface is only millimetres thick and is off in a few places(still)......it looks really elegant(not).
This was supposed to improve the aesthetics of the town........it was our money, very badly spent, on something that benefits no-one.

When the council are planning these improvements I really do wish they would spend the money as if it were coming out of their own back pocket instead of what I sometimes think they think is a bottomless purse.
