Where do I begin? If I could mark them as less than 1 I certainly would & it's taken me a long time to think about what I'm going to say because, yes , we're all sick to the back teeth of hearing how bad things are due to years of Tory underfunding. I don't think many would disagree other than why Boris, Rishy & the dozy Liz Truss who's own father ALLEGEDLY won't speak to her over her political views. Remember the pigs to China speech? That said it all + some to me!!! Was it £300k a year Boris said was his minimum salary? The bulk of the population would be happy with £30k & I certainly never got anywhere near that ever and if the present incumbents think this Joe Public is just going to sit back, loose their cold weather payment while the Fat Cats have never been taxed as they should then why should hard working families live in B&Bs ? Why did I spend lockdown putting food parcels together for desperate people while we pay more for water, more council tax , higher gas & electricity etc etc ? There's plenty of work but those very same fat cats won't take staff on because they're going to in time loose their perks. Why are we still providing food parcels? Because major stores are still raking in massive profits. Why are we loosing basic Council services such as more bins, roads patched up bug not repaired? Have you walked on the top end of town above the Town Hall recently? It's a disgrace and if any poor disabled people have an accident then heaven help them because nobody yet again will be responsible. Why are car drivers living with chaos around town ? I know some of it's to do with that hideous & far too big block of flats where the multi storey used to be but couldn't it have been done in stages ? Keep the traffic flowing more efficiently, it's a no brainer to me. Now for the Council. I worked in Northgate House over 20 yrs ago & it was a dump, far too hot and completely run down. I was fined for dropping a cigarette butt outside when there wasn't a base in the stand ashtray outside which infuriated me. I need an environmental health officer but they haven't got an office, ring, leave message & they get in touch eventually. Everything online and if I have to deal with another pretend human I'll throw something at the company because clever as they may be the will never replace a human being in my lifetime!
As we tend to be a quite generous population and friendly area those better off have usually helped those less so but I for one am sick of paying & paying for services I haven't recieved for years and I doubt I'm alone and to add insult to injury am.expected to.pay again while my beautiful environment is ruined with litter, dog poo etc etc. No.point in bagging it up to just throw into bushes or trees willy nill or just not bothering to take it away but I forgot!! We're loosing more bins. Better get the street cleaners back then Calderdale. PS. The box of rubbish was collected in around 5 mins outside my front door.
Weren't Councils meant to be modernising years ago? I know quite a lot of staff went a long time ago but what have we been left with? Overworked regular staff, almost Fat Cat Chief this that Executive the other and a fabulous Piece Hall that's packing them in like sardines. So will someone please explain the actual terms that the Piece Hall was handed over ? I struggled getting home from Manchester after a hospital appointment a couple of months ago as it was that dreadful week when some bright young things had dreampt up bringing 5 or 6 big acts into town all within the space of a week
You couldn't get up Horton st into town for the flood of people going in to the show. Some businesses really saw huge benefits to all of this but mainly the Piece Hall tenants, pubs & taxi firms taking now drunks home to Leeds, Manchester, Bath etc after shows. Absolute madness and that's not what our town was built on. We've a dire housing crisis because of the influx of people coming from other areas because they can't get property close to family but try to get something when you've lived here for donkeys
