Town Council Not Sitting On Fence
Town councillors have demanded that the County Council take action in repairing the broken fencing along part of Cambridge Street.
The call for action to be taken on the fencing comes amidst concerns that it is dangerous and makes the are look more unsightly. The Town Council have been keen to point out it is the County Council’s responsibility to repair.
Local councillor Steven van der Steve was reported as saying; “We believe that it is in the public interest that the County Council make things safe by replacing the existing barrier. This is one issue the Town Council feel strongly and will not be sitting on the fence about, particularly as the fence in question is rotten in parts.”
Reaction to the demand of local councillors has been mixed. Local solicitor Irma Konnman commented “I fail to see why Town Councillors consider the fence to be unsightly, when it’s simply fitting in with the area behind. As for it being dangerous it would be unfortunate for the County Council if someone had an injury and then wished to sue them”.
Handy Andy was unavailable for comment.
