If ever there was a golden opportunity to catch up with essential road repairs while the volume of traffic was unusually low, these last few weeks have provided it. Even the recent long spell of dry weather would have been helpful, but in my area nothing has been done.

I was devastated as I can get no answer to where my reminder was during the past year. The post office are no good and I don't know whether this even left the office until this year. I would like to know why we are being neglected and there appears there is no-one to answer for this mess. I drive a mobility car and from Monday I am stranded. What is happening?
