A frosty prediction over the repairs to potholes

A COUPLE of weeks ago the council asked us to inform them of the location of potholes which needed urgent attention.

I shouldn’t think that anybody had the time or space to list all their concerns – it might be easier just to name the roads that need a complete resurface.

But that list would be extensive as well.

In the meantime, can I suggest a way the council may save time next year by keeping a record of the potholes that have been ‘repaired’ this year because they will be the first to go next time there is a bit of frost, if they actually last that long. the benefit Allowance.

Those benefits are now called PIP, Personal Independence Payment.

Each individual received an official letter of explanation attached to a 20-plus page information sheet to be completed and submitted and a short period afterwards you are interviewed/assessed to see if you are eligible for PIP.

I was asked to attend a meeting/interview in Manchester.

This is a ploy to measure anyone’s resolve to attend at a distance or otherwise. I gave them a choice of Halifax or my preferred and home town Huddersfield.

The interview was rigorous, lasting two hours, which was quite stressful.

Approximately one month later I was awarded PIP.

I wonder how many people in Kirklees going through this AFTER reading about the article reference the grass cutting incident in Lepton, do we have to continually listen to the farcical answers that the socalled Kirklees spokesperson provides us with?

Does he or she think we live on another planet?

My eight-year-old grandson could tell that it wasn’t fit to cut.

Why don’t we let them loose on the cricket pitches, thus delaying the start of the season even longer!

Maybe not a good idea.
