Potholes and the state of our roads

RE: H Boyed’s observations under the heading “Chaos, what chaos redux’ (Letters, The Wokingham Paper, April 12).

They surely express the feelings of many local residents whose opinions Wokingham Borough Council arrogantly chooses to ignore.

“It’s not easy being green,” crooned Kermit The Frog – if he lived in Wokingham, he would find it near, nigh, impossible.

“Look,” environmentally unfriendly borough councillors cry, “look, there’s a green space with green trees on it – quick, dig it up, build on it and cut down the trees before anyone realises what we’re up to.”

Elms Field, Market Place, Cantley Park, Bell Foundry Lane and now drooling at the prospect of massacring even more of the borough’s green and pleasant land at Grazeley, out of town, out of touch, out of control council members continue the pillaging of what is left of a once delightful corner of Royal Berkshire countryside – and what for? You tell me. The secretive, behind closed doors executive most certainly will not.

One recently published local election manifesto bears the title ‘delivering the best for our borough’. Believe that and you’ll believe anything. J W Blaney, Wokingham
