Emailed one of the directors at County Hall today as I have run out of patience waiting for the council to sort out all the weeds turning our villages into a mess.

Roundabouts and footpaths are a disgrace at the moment. Apears it is because the Council chose to outsource the service this year but somewhere in County Hall it got delayed- I’m told in procurement.

Interestingly other parts of the county are in a better shape!

Some weeds are nearly up to window sills – come on DCC get your act together. It’s nearly July and nothing done.

Take a look at a roundabout next time you are out and see if you can find one where the block paved area is clear of weeds. Perhaps we could have a competition to see who finds one in the Durham City area first.
