Fact is yes. One pays for services that you may never use. But Education is state funded in part and often parent/parish funded in part. And standards vary. Social services you may or may not need. Again standards vary. It is not good in Ealing and has not been for a very long time. But we also all pay for core services. Here in Ealing they have descended beyond mediocrity, again for far too long. The unkempt state of things is not acceptable. Sweeping up and doing it oneself has been the norm for many years. But last year even the bags filled by residents from over 2 years of gully debris to another 9 weeks to be collected. Refuse works ok but the food recycling is a regular pattern of uncollected containers, damaged containers from bad tabling and food waste trails all over the street. Parks full of rats now appearing in the streets at night. I've not seen that in residential streets here ever. Yet the council continues to throw money at issues they like to think they control but in reality do not need to control. Like government, anything they involve themselves with ends up tainted and never the same. Now we have parks full of invasive and health risking overgrowth which renders the places inaccessible to many at a time when they have never been needed more by so many stuck in homes with no outdoor facility. To remedy this is going to take an age and cost a lot of money. |
