Not a quetsion of 'haven't bothered' there is a small matter of work which precludes attendance, but if you think these meetings are benficial to the locale take a good look around. Marston is becoming a tip.

Well done to Colin Cook who is a hard working councillor and listens to the residents he represents. The LibDems could learn a lot from him.

Sorry Sid;
Just a little too late, it is a tip; which is a shame.
Perhaps weekly collections would help but doubt it.
Some of the people in Marston just cannot be bothered. Probably leaving at the end of the year!

Joe,
Yes, I agree. It occurred to me after posting that I should have put 'is a tip'. It is an absolute disgrace what is happening and the attitudes of people. This is exacerbated by the ridiculous 'developments' that are allowed.
