04/10/00 Members of the public are often frustrated with the speed at which Councillors can get things done. At the end of the day we are relying on the Council to act on concerns and that can take time. For example attached is a letter the Council sent to me in October of 2000 in response to a letter I sent in September 1999(over a year later) concerning a piece of graffiti in Shankill.
12/11/00 Wastage of money in Council contracts can be very frustrating. A local example of this was the traffic calming measures on the Wyatville Road. Many estates with young children urgently need traffic calming measures yet when they petition the Councli they are told there is no money. Perhaps one of the reasons for this is that large amounts of money are spent each year putting right the mistakes made in the previous year's traffic calming scheme(for example Avondale Raod and Wyatville Road).
04/11/00 Letter to the Manager concerning his failure to implement the Customer Service Charter for the Refuse Collection Service.
