Not What You Know Its Who You Know

As a council tenant i have been tryin to get some work done on my house that was meant to have been done 4 years ago. After 4 years of waiting i was told recently theres no money left in the budget for the work to be carried out now. On a certain street in Asthon 2 Councillors live a few doors apart, so far over the last 18 months they have had new pathways on both sides of this street, new clearer brighter street lighting, and now this coming Monday the road is being resurfaced. Perhaps the councillors want to step out side there bubbles and work for the people not just themselves.

Re: Not What You Know Its Who You Know

If your suggesting that these two councillors have taken unfair advantage of their priveliged position then why don`t you name and shame them?or don`t you want to risk being sued for defamation of character?
Come to think of ityou have named them in a roundabout way....My sister has just hade a new hardstanding done for a car...She`s 74 and never driven a car in her life. And she is one of hundreds.That`s where your money has gone so who would you blame for that?
