The sun is out and it would be good to sit in the park

But if this is Mill Dam Park , things are different.

True there have been, and still are, lots of crocusses out; then the daffodils are just coming out, the tulips have buds, the forget-me-nots are strong and healthy, the wall flowers too and the african marigolds seeds are germinating : thanks to our efforts and money.

But where is the wood for reparing the park bench that SLDC Parks Department have promissed on three separate occasions? Where is the picnic table that we were promissed last May and again in November. Both times we were told that there would be no problem in supplying these.

However we were also told that Councillor Hodgson was "out of order" in his part in preventing this happening.

So we've got the message : if you want something - do it yourself. If we want a second picnic table after the one we already supplied then we will make it ourselves as we want it to be well made, strong and heavy, and the Ulverston firm that was making them has stopped. We'll also repair the bench and hope that this time the kids don't wreck our repairs.

Why was the one shown on Google maps removed in the first place?

There you go, another flagrant lie dished up as the truth. Why don't you explain why Hodgson couldn't let you take over the running of a public park? Why don't you set out the things you were supposed to do to let you have some influence over that park and couldn't manage to do it? Talking to Hodgson about it reveals a very different situation to the one you like put about in your endless bullying campaign.

Jeb.

So Jeb - what is "the truth".

Why can't we have the picnic table and the wood for repairs that we were promised.

Why does the SLDC officer consider that Colin is "out of order".

Let's have the alternative version.

I'd like to here it

Who are the servants and who are the masters?
Members of the public have a right to be served by our councilors.
They are elected to serve us.
As I see it Geoff you have improved by your own good deeds and hard work the park.
Geoff you are trying to turn Ulverston into a TOWN OF SMILES pity the old guard objects.
Fear is the biggest obstacle to change and thank God you are full of optimism and fearless.
