I’ve been out listening to voters around College Ward. The people I’ve spoken to don’t want unrealistic things from their public services. One thing they really do want is for the streets to be kept clean and for the ward to be maintained to a basic level. Blocked drains like this aren’t simply unsightly but they can create local flooding and damage the road surface. It’s not the sort of thing that you can open with a ribbon but it is the sort of thing we should be able to expect from our local authority. If the voters of College Ward elect me it is one of the things I will work hard on.
