Many resident are very angry that despite their having to pay very high prices, to have a drop curb installed, they are having to wait many weeks to have them put in place. As one resident said to me the other day "I feel as if I am paying under false pretence's and I think I am really being ripped off by this Council"
The Council are quick enough to demand full payment for these drop curbs and must be earning interest from the minute a resident pays. They need to be much quicker in getting the contractors to get the job done. I have now spoken to senior Transportation Managers who have assured me they are looking into this problems and hope that things will get better soon. I will continue to monitor this issue.

Spot on Councillor. I waited near 8 weeks after paying to have a drop curb. The price is a rip off to.

Do tell your residents, Councillor, how the previous Labour administration increased the price of drop curbs by 75% just before they lost control of the Council . . .
The price of drop curbs did increase when Labour was in control of the Council over 4 years ago. Councillor Leddy and I did lead a campaign get the price dropped by 25% for a time. The price when under Labour control was far too high.This makes what the currentConservative led Adminsitrations prices even more amazing. They are in some cases over a 100% higher than 4 years ago and the fact they allow people to wait such a long time before the work is done (despite being paid in full) is the finale insult.
\Ref your above post
How refreshing to have an honest and candid response from a politian.
I wish others would take note.
The price of drop crossing is to high and there should be a maximum of 4 weeks to wait to have them put in.
Best wishes
