During the recent snow and icy conditions our Liberal Democrat Focus teams have received many comments from concerned residents about the council’s lack of flexibility in the way in which it has dealt with what have been unprecedentedly circumstances.
So concerned were Liberal Democrat councillors on Walsall Council they have called for and got an item on the forthcoming Environment Scrutiny Panel to review the performance of the current winter maintenance policy in order to hold the Cabinet to account and try to force through changes to address the concerns that have been raised.
We have already started compiling a list of the questions we want answered – these take into account the points already raised by residents. However, if any other residents want to forward concerns or questions you can email me at shiresi@walsall.gov.uk please include your name and address.
The meeting will take place on Monday 24th January 2011 in the Council House at 6pm.
