Not all heroes wear capes. Councillors Natalie Statham and Lee Wood are apparently working to get this mess (caused presumably by someone with fragile masculinity issues) cleared up. We can only assume the hit squad duo rocked up and each took a picture and then shared a keyboard to type in the details a letter each to make a report.
Desperation to look relevant and as if you’re doing something is manifest in this very post. Quite why you need to warn people to take extreme care when pretty much everyone with eyeballs can see what’s in front of them is beyond us. We also are quite confident that guide dogs aren’t that stupid either. Not only that but it’s safety glass that smashes into harmless pebbles, heaven forbid you get any stuck in the sole of your shoes.
We also do wonder why the intrepid team reported it the way us plebs have to report things when no doubt they have direct contacts for situations such as this. Leaving us to assume they must think we normals would believe they have worked really hard by filling in a form online that literally anyone could have done. It is by definition not getting it dealt with quickly. At least they got a reference number they can bash some poor street scene employee over the head with for not doing it quickly enough.
These two Councillors are probably the most hapless among Tamworth Borough Council’s new political intake. We do wonder why Wood was given the responsibility to run the towns planning meetings (if you can call it running when he lost control of his first meeting to a baying public). Statham however has a ‘save the whales’ vibe that will serve her well in our landlocked town. Although don’t be surprised to see her given more responsibility at some point. This is our Labour Council future dear reader. Do enjoy.
