[QUOTE="PSQ, post: 8984359, member: 11374"] The council have pretty much cut out essential services to ‘balance’ the books. I first requested the gulley tanker for “the bit that always floods” last spring, when the driver was in the village, but he didn’t have time because they finish at 12 on a Friday… After the Freelander aquaplaned into the building yesterday, I called the number for the local roads department depot to see if the gulley wagon was available to clear the 3 blocked chambers. But now you have to go through a central number for the Council “HQ” 30 miles away, so after 15 minutes of being passed around ‘customer services’ took the request and said they would give it “high priority”. Imagine my delight at seeing the council had indeed been to the 30cm x 50m flood on the road, to put up a pair of ‘flood’ signs, beyond which was a hydrolocked Honda Civic 🤦♂️ 10 years ago you could call the foreman directly and he’d do everything to help the community, whereas now Customer Services clearly couldn’t give a sh!t.
