It’s Official
Yes friends and readers,no sooner have we said that Greater Piltons streets and roads not to forget it’s blocked drains were a dam disgrace it is now official. This great capital city of our  has the worst streets and pavements in Scotland. Congratulations to our wonderful City council for gaining such an achievment. Let’s hope you are brave enough to put this travesty in your maifesto and leaflets.
 Once more the peoples party have let us down,pot-holed roads some the size of craters that would give the moon a run for it’s money,and pavements that in some places are down right dangerous. There is no excuse for this disasterous state of affairs,let has hope the voters think so too. Who’s to blame for the roadworks that are clogging up the city,you cannot move for stop signs and diversion signs,and it just gets worst. Is this the punishment the road users get for not voting yes for yet another tax under the guise of a congestion charge.
This lot of so called Labour people are a sham and have become far too complacent,and need a good kick up the ballot papers. It’s time they were out on their ear. They lost the stock transfer vote they lost the congestion vote,they have lost the confidence of the voting public,they have to be removed and others given a chance to try and improve things. We are mortgaged for life with the PPI built schools and will pay several times more than they are worth,who benifits from that,why the construction company of course.
Oh and while we are at it. The people that are supposed to be working on our roads,should put them back properly,not just a thin cheap coating of tar,oh yes we know how they do it and con the taxpayer and rip off the council. Roads collapse because they are laid inadequately with the cheapest of cheap materials,so the roads will not last long and holes will soon develop. We need elected members who know a bit about life and realise they are getting ripped off.
Who approves these road contracters,who inspects the work,does anybody inspect the work,how the hell does it get passed,some of the repairs are just plain shit and a brief look would tell you that. The people of this city have to put up with an awful lot when it comes to our roads and pavements,we should be demanding that someone get a grip and demand that our roads be relaid properly so pot-holes don’t materialise a couple of weeks after they have supposed to have been repaired.
Who is looking after the shop,certainly not our elected members,who seem to allow cowboys to dig up our roads and make a mess of them.Who asked us if they can block off our streets and make a mess of our neighbourhoods. Thats right nobody asked us but we are the ones that suffer. The motorist for all their faults pay massive taxes to use these shity streets the least they can expect is decent roads to drive on instead of playing dodgy with the pot-holes. The same with the pavements, you have to watch were you walk otherwise you may well fall over.
Absolutly disgraceful and the blame lies fair and square on our noble rulers. When will they learn that it is much more expensive to do the job wrong than right. So the millions you are supposed to be spending on upgrading,should be spent on doing the job right the first time. One more thing who allocates the work to these contracters,how do they tender for the work and who sees these tenders,where does the buck stop. Which highly paid index linked official oversees this rubbish and then gets away with it.
We need accountability, we should have all the answers to the points above but we don’t. What’s the reason. Our elected members have a duty to keep us informed,in all certainty they probably don’t know themselves what is going on,and care even less.Or maybe just maybe they are learning from our dear friend and regular sucks reader Bill nowght to do with me/us Fitzpatrick.Â
