<p>Great to see the Echo picking up on this story in a big way. Shame to see some of the comments by residents. I have several issues that I am currently dealing with for residents looking at how the road network affects them. But, if anyone else has a problem I&#8217;d like them to get in touch &#8211; I am not exactly Lord Lucan, my telephone number, email address and webpage are plastered all over the place!</p>
<p>Also &#8211; I wasn&#8217;t very well the day that photo was taken, not very well at all, but seriously, I know all politicians are supposed to look a bit odd in photographs, but! 🙂 I&#8217;ll never make Prime Minister looking like that!</p>
