Whose brain storm was this? Was it the general manager? Was it one of the 240 indoor staff? Or was it one of the 60 outdoor staff? Perhaps it was one of the councillors.

Once a ratepayer could talk to a councillor and get something done, not so now.

I complained to a councillor about footpaths, potholes, dangerous trees hanging over some roads, dips in roadways and various rough spots.

This councillor told me to write a letter or shut up.

Do councillors have a code of practice? Doesn’t seem so.

Council workers driving over and around bad roadworks and ignoring blocked drains; what good would it be taking photos of these many and varied sections. It would only show council and councillors what they already know.

Council already has two white elephants, perhaps nine seeing eye dogs might help.
