Some more 'keystone cops' stuff!

A friend of a friend has just told me this wonderful story about further clowncil stuff ups!! Seems like there were two metal frames at the entry of a pathway to a park. For three months, this friend of a friend, rang clowncil to ask, then complain, about the fact that these 'obstacles' were placed too close together and thus her husband who is in a wheelchair couldn't get through. Well finally, after threatening them with non compliance to the Disability Act, clowncil finally sent its genuises down to 'fix the problem'. What did they achieve? Nothing less that drilling into a major water main, so that literally thousands and thousands litres of precious water went down the drain!! One would have thought that before any such work is carried out, someone would have the sense to check on the exact location of drains, pipes, etc. I'm sure that if this had been done by an ordinary resident, then they would have hell to pay - but of course, being clowncil - it's us the ratepayers who will compensate South East Water, for all losses, etc. Ah, another example of clowncil at its best!
