MAYBE if Trafford Council wasn't contemplating loan a massive £4m loan to a private members club after an already generous gift of more than £20m it would have money to spend on repairing roads.A
After an 8 year battle to get the surface repaired on Derbyshire Lane in Stretford, when the job is finally done, it is only half a job.
the so called repair stops half way along the section that was identified as in need of action.
Gaze at our swimming pool available nine months of the year at Victoria Road and Derbyshire Lane due to the lack of proper drainage.
Marvel at the crazy paving that passes as a pavement. Wonder at the broken kerbs and grids that don't drain surface water away.
Before you subsidise a business that could go to the banks for a loan, how about repairing the roads that council tax payers live on and pay for.
