They manage to mess up virtually everything but this one takes the biscuit.

There have been frequent requests for yellow lines at the corner of Churchill and Jennings Road. This is to prevent pavement parking and is a safety measure to protect young people. I was frequently assured that this was in hand and would be in the next batch of traffic orders.

Tonight there is a meeting of local residents and I asked for an update. The officers say they know nothing about it. Their boss now admits that it has ‘fallen off the radar’.

Another broken promise.
