Wondering where the potholes are, which hedge needs to be cut back, too many leaves falling off the trees onto the footpaths and the many civic receptions and votes of thanks and so on. You would never think that we are in the depths of a recession, all the factories in Youghal either closed or about to close, mass unemployment, the town centre void of shoppers and shops struggling to remain open. Maybe they are hoping that people will just leave like they did in the 80's and the problems will go with them. How come we never read about incentives to bring businesses into the town, delegates going off to intice larger companies to open in the area, incentives to attract businesses and people to the town centre, etc. Where are the pro-active council representives that we heard so much about on the lead up to the elections? If I new the person(s) I was voting for was going to spend all their time reporting on potholes and overgrown hedges and giving civic receptions, then I just would not have bothered voting. And what about the potholes and broken footpaths? Is it the councillors job to report on these? What is the town foreman and the area engineer employed to do.? I see the town foreman cruising around the town all the time in his four wheel drive - prehaps he does'nt notice the potholes in that machine. I think its about time the councillors started working for the town and try and get the life back into it again. Afterall we have all the facilities and natural resources. Take the strand for instance, its an absolute disgrace. Not a penny spent on it and its the biggest pull for visitors that we have. On the whole of the strand front you cannot even get a cup of coffee. On a fine day in the summer, you'd get more visitors on one day, than you would the whole year round at the town walls, yet hundreds of thousands are spent on the town walls. Many people, myself included usually head over to west Waterford to go swimming, for fear of being impaled on one of the redundant breakers on the Youghal beach. Anyway, I'll look forward to the next report and keep an eye on the pothole outside my house to see if it gets repaired!
