Encouraginng each other to be assertive is something that is very important to me!
Relying on others can be very frustrating. People using their own initiative can often achieve far more. Self belief is important!
We llive in a town where this already happens so much . It will be natural for us as to do this more and more..
On prime time BBC coverage at 07:45 am Radio Cumbria tomorrow when I'm being interviewed about taking action illegally to repair our highway - the setts - in The Gill.
No doubt thousands of you will be tuned in specially

Well done Geoff. They are blameing the bad weather this is not the case its total neglect over years. The man @ the top should fall on his sword
Poor Cumbria County Council Awarding contracts is hard work It involves Dinners, Drinks, Jolly's, Xmas Gifts. They have no time left to check the job be resonable Geoff
Looking at the state of the setts before you fixed them, you would think they'd be too embarassed to imply that if someone injured themselves you'd be liable. Yeah, they looked perfectly safe beforehand, didn't they!
If they want to take this tack to stop people making their own streets safer, maybe we should all accidentally-on-purpose take a tumble on all the other defects they've failed to make safe in a reasonable timescale. Lots of expensive lawsuits would make them get their act together in double-quick time & the money could be spent on community projects.

I agree- but it's not a man but a woman.
Her name is Marie Fallon and she is paid £125,000.
Her Highway Department has rightly set itself standards that are government requirements and they are breaking these left , right and centre.
They need to be put in the stocks and pelted with rotten fruit, veg and eggs.
They they might start doing their jobs.
They could start by showing the public some respect by communicating with them and explaining their none action.
I'm off for my radio interview!

Some creative thinking going on here.
The accidentally on purpose approach.
Is someone volunteering to push my invalid chair around if in fact I'm over successful?
