A councillor has defended his decision to personally take care of potholes in his neighbourhood, despite being told to stop ‘in no uncertain terms’ by the council.
‘Officers are trying their best but the statutory services we run at the council, mainly social care, are taking up an ever-increasing portion of our budget. Yet despite his good intentions, Mr Mason was told in no uncertain terms’ by the council’s environmental services that it could be ‘a serious breach’ if anything happened at one of the potholes he has repaired.Councillor Mason admitted his repairs are ‘far from perfect’ Mr Mason, who is standing for re-election in May, said he would ‘strongly dissuade’ the public from doing repairs themselves for legal reasons that could ‘come back to haunt them.
A council spokesperson said: ‘We appreciate the efforts of ward members and members of the public who wish to improve their local areas.
‘all highway repairs need to be carried out in line with health and safety guidelines and to appropriate standards’ the council said 😂😂😂😂😂 he’s probably done a better job than the ‘appropriate standards’ employees the councils has.!
