An old joke...

You know the old joke about how many electricians does it take to change a light bulb? How many councillors does it take to send a letter?

Weeks ago, 15th July to be precise, my secretary organised a public meeting for folks in Dudley to tell their councillors how we'd got it wrong with the bus route for Newhaven Road. Then, there was a meeting with the new director of transport and a solution of sorts was found. Then we meet to agree to send out a letter signed by all 4 Forth Ward councillors to tell our constituents the proposed changes ...much flaffing about and only 6 weeks since the saga began is the letter finally being posted...this business of working together to get things sorted ain't quick or very efficient...
