Funny how in response the council has gone from producing a replacement bed to now effectively smearing as uncooperative in less that a week by your own quotation. What went wrong there is a question that could be asked but isn’t. Local councils employ ranks of officials and publicity staff defending their outlook against ordinary individuals who kick up a fuss. <br /><br />You quote long tracts of spiel from the local council but I think you could be in danger of having the wool pulled over your eyes because the only people you have spoken to are the Council themselves. I am glad that you think the truth is somewhere in the middle but from your position of very partial access you are in no position to actually judge. This is unfortunately not reflected in a more speculative tone. The BBC at least turned up and interviewed these tenants at the flats, all you have done is quote a publicity statement put out by one side of the case. Lets have the voice of the ordinary citizen rather than doing them over for blog post. <br /><br />EuphonicTrancerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04974252122667395203noreply@blogger.com
