Market Day accidents

A toddler's buggy is hit in Market St, a child is injured.

Inactivity reigns. The Town council have been 'dealing with the problem' since October last year.
Their responses are in.

" Councillor Judith Pickthall, deputy mayor of Ulverston, said: “This can be solved and will be solved but as ever these things take time.”"

Do you detect a sense of urgency?

Are you reassured?

Is there anyone really focusing on this problem and who is it?

The replies that have been received are for the most part couched in officialese or is it typical political nonsense?

Stuff that maybe reassures the apathetic. Meanwhile a dangerous situation continues because a document lies gathering dust on a County Council Desk and no one is there to raise questions.

Why do we put up with these politicians?

If you ran a business like this  - where would you get with the answer given by Judith Pickthall?

If Gavin Knott at Appleseeds or other successful business people in the Town like Gillams or for that matter I T Shaw who feed off Council contracts, were on the case - How long would it take to solve? - One month or perhaps two?

But here we are expected to put up with a year with still no firm date being even suggested.
