Our esteemed Labour-run Council has now wasted a truly eyewatering amount of money blocking roads at some of our waste sites.

This includes the one in Pity Me which has so far cost about £300,000.

We told them in April to set up a booking system. they ignored us until we kicked off again over the cost and disruption. It is now likely to be the end of March before a system is in place.

Have a think about what you would like our council to spend its money on, I’m pretty sure that £1m on cones, barriers and road closures is not at the top of your list. Especially when its completely unnecessary.

This waste of money at any time is an absolute disgrace. With so many people struggling it’s an insult.
