I’m off on a site visit this morning with a highways officer from Walsall Council, nothing special about that, it’s one of those things you’d expect a councillor to do.
This site visit is a bit different, were’re going to look at the result of a response to a previous site visit a couple of years ago which resulted in a number of roads being resurfaced.
There in lies the problem, the particular road we’re visiting today was “tarred and chipped” about 12 months ago and dispite several sweeps residents still have to put up with grit being walked into their homes.
Cutting to the chase this site visit is about how your money is spent and whether or not what is done is good value for money. We suspect not and judging by our casework it’s an increasing problem as Tory front line service cuts begin to bite.
