General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

Sledge, I wonder if the decision by central government not to fund was in anyway hampered by the fact that the council have spent thousands putting stupid statues up around the borough, the money for which could have gone on some road projects. The Government will expect the council to put in some expenditure and not simply rely on a government handout hence the fact that part of my rather expensive council tax goes on roads. This council is the probably the only one in the country who can build a multimillion shopping complex which is bound to increase traffic yet do nothing about the roads into the town except make large areas one way systems. The result is mayhem. Oh, and dont get me on the same roads that flood year on year and have sticking plaster repairs made.It is simple incompetence and poor planning. As for Neil Turner, maybe some of his £175k living expenses could pay for a few workmen to repair the flooding on Bolton Road.
