DNA and the police

Still no sign of my DNA samples being returned.

These were taken on April 24th following my action to straighten the parking sign outside Tesco which resulted in the sign snapping at the base (Click the label DNA). This action was taken in reponse to the inaction of the County Highways to replace the sign in spite of repeated requests over a three month period from our Mayor.

This makes it two months since they were taken. Their return was promised the following week following the police's decision not to press charges for criminal damage.

I don't plan to kick up a fuss but just wait and see how long it takes for them to fulfill their promise, given at the time, that thes samples would be returned.

The council should have pressed charges against you,end of the day you vandalized something.What does this message send out to kids in the town

Aren't there two ways of looking at this?

Why was it taking the council so long to do anything about a sign that was clearly an eyesore in a prominent public place? Several responsible councillors had asked that it should be repaired.

It was clearly broken and needed taking down prior to it being replaced.

Have you asked any kids?

Have any noticed that the sign has gone?

Do they know why it's not there?

Are you just having a go for the sake of it?

How many people share your view?

Many don't!
