I'm hoping that our new County Councillor will take this matter up with enthusiasm and show that he can influence the standard of work done by contractors who at present do shoddy work.
James Airey met me to look at the setts. He is genuinely concerned about the way the Highways Department operates and recognises that in the long run we get very poor value for money because of the "stop-gap" way in which their contractors operate.
We talked generally about many subjects and he comes across as someone who has settled into his new job as County Councillor and is ready for some serious action on our behalf.
He's the only politician I know at a local level (other than Tim Farron who I shouldn't really 'bother' as he's not my MP) who comes across as a real person and not a politician cardboard cut-out that spouts politically safe soundbites that try to convince you that they're trying hard when all they are doing is attempting to 'conn' you into thinking that they have a worthwhile role in life.

let me know if you want to borrow a cement mixer
Thanks but I wouldn't need it.
They can be laid without mortar by packing then tight one against the next as in Rome which enables them to lay a whole square in a day.
Not sure why this technique isn't used here.
Anyone know?
