In the Westmorland Gazette 26 Feb 2009, front page:
"County seeks 2.5% tax rise
Motorists will be pleased by plans to spend an extra £2.5 million on improving the county road infrastructure - using a loan that will cost the authority a quarter of a million pounds a year. A further £11 million has been allocated for road repairs"
Have you watched this?
Here is the state of the 'white' halt line outside Oxfam, which was done recently.
How recently do you think?
Here are two random interviews where people are asked how old they think the road markings are.
The passerby ends up with the comment "Don't get me started on that!"
Clearly many of us are angry with local government and how it is run.
What do our County Councillors take us for?
Are our County Councillors, Wendy Kolbe and Pauline Halfpenny, going to kick up a fuss?
Why are they giving Nick Raymond, the Highwayman even more of our cash to squander?

Though County Cllr Pauline Halfpenny has responded, she has yet to specify what, if anything, she proposes to do.
She has been invited to inspect the lines more carefully.
One response she quotes from Phil Turner of SLDC regarding the double yellow lines:
"They're a lot worse elsewhere"
Is that an answer?
Silence from County Cllr Wendy Kolbe. .
To be fair this is not a problem just in Ulverston.
Why though do County Cllrs let the Highways Dept. get away with this malpractice. Something that appears rife across the South Lakes area of Cumbria.
I cannot believe the lines comply with British Standards specifications.
I believe the officials are taking advantage of Cllrs with inadequate knowledge of how the jobs should be done.
