Last month the council sent us a letter cancelling the PCN issued in August. The council says it is “a gesture of goodwill”. These thousands of PCNs were issued illegitimately because of an IT fault. Somebody knew this was happening and the council rebutted initial appeals on the grounds that we, its borough residents, needed keener memories of the permit renewal dates and that they could not act against legislation. No amount of goodwill will undo the ill intentions and malice that went into the council’s decision to pursue those PCNs to payment. Do the people in the council responsible for this scandal still work there?

Social media has been active lately with reports of filthy streets and pavements, and now gutters and drains are clogged with thickly mulched and compacted leaf fall. The council’s published revised rubbish collection schedule over the holiday period and its website schedule did not match and neither schedule reflected the actual collection dates. Again, social media lit up with frustrations over the widespread poor service.

This can lead to questions about how capable the council is when dealing with social services, the homeless, the elderly, emergency housing, children in need and those on the fringes of our society we help. We, on sites such as this, have a voice and a means to raise our concerns and seek redress for the wrongs carried out by the council. Many people do not have the same resources to get the proper treatment they deserve.

The council sends out PR emails and distributes a bi-monthly magazine but these do not carry information about the issues affecting us and ways they can help us. As an example, the council still has the opportunity to explain and apologise for the summer’s PCN problems and set up procedures for refunds to those who paid.

Moving into this New Year here’s hoping the people in the council, our local public servants, start making decisions that do not adversely affect its residents’ health, happiness and prosperity.

To end, and to paraphrase a journalist, ‘the propensity to despair is strong, but should not be indulged. Sing yourself up. Imagine a world in which you might thrive, for which there is no evidence. And then fight for it.’
