Having returned from holiday yesterday I found the rose beds at the Memorial Garden in Framwellgate Moor still had not been weeded and were several feet high in weeds in places making the whole area look a real mess.

Why this had really annoyed me is because I had asked for this to be done months ago, even though I shouldn’t have to because it should be on a cycle, and it wasn’t touched.

Then just before going on holiday two weeks ago I showed the area to the Head of Service along with numerous other areas of uncut grass, unstrimmed areas etc across the villages.

Having threatened to put the picture of the area on this blog yesterday morning, it was done yesterday afternoon. So thank you to the Head of Service, but must I become the adviser to the council on where it has to cut its grass, strim areas and cut back trees?

If there is anywhere in a poor condition which needs work doing please let me know, but be aware I can’t promise it will get done, unless perhaps you send me a photo of it!

Labour’s wonderful unitary Council!
