Hello Geoff
I looked at YouTube page and there was a video about the cobbles. I am glad all my hard work paid off and that as a employee of United Utilities we got things done. Hope you are keeping well
Rozzy Harris
She's the person that got things going on the cobbles and persuaded United Utilities, her employer, to do the honourable thing and repair their very poor work.
See this blog back in April 2009 when Roz did her stuff. One day we'll give her credit for sticking her neck out when Ulverston Town Council ignored her contribution - They couldn't cope with someone else showing up their apathy so they chose to ignore the tow of us (what's new). She needs a plaque putting up - maybe I'll have to make one!
I suggest readers familiarise themselves with this battle - just a few of us made a world of difference and won. The politicians and officers deserve a good hiding! Nick Raymond, Cumbria Highways - the worse offender and the reason the cobbles are costing vast quatities of money even now is because of his incompetence at doing his job back in 2005 and before. Had Cumbria Highways supervised the contactors digging up the cobbles and making sure the cobbles were replace in good order which they had agreed to before starting work then there would be no problems now that needed repairing.
By kicking up a fuss, the length and greatdth of South Lakeland (writing to every clouncil at town level) we got the dastardly Nick Raymond moved elsewhere - eventually to Barrow !
What we need are some good councillors who will chase things up the present lot just act the part except for one - the Liberal Deb condidate for East Ulverston - not Mark Wilson of the inactive Peter Hornby - I've still to find out his name.
I was enjoying a jigsaw until I heard from the wonderful Roz Harris - we need more people like her.
