Council Cunts

We agree.
Have you been trapped in the relentless petty minded bureaucracy of your local council?
Why does it require 3 forms of ID to get a parking permit when the car in question is busy receiving a parking ticket right outside the parking office?
Or do you work for Hackney Council?

Pointless roadworks
On the A5 near Hockliffe (Milton Keynes & Dunstable) there is a set of traffic lights just before the village and as a main road heading toward the M1 and London there is a lot of traffic at rush hour.
So you can imagine my delights that the council had used common sense and removed the traffic lights installing a roundabout instead!!! Suddenly 15 mins was taken off my morning commute and the traffic near dissappeared as soon as it was installed!!!
Sadly being a council decision the joy was short lived when 2 weeks later (Yup, 2 sodding weeks!!!) they removed the roundabout and installed new traffic lights that were worse than before!!!
I stopped my car when I saw the foreman and asked what the f*ck they were doing and later phoned the council too. Turns out the roundabout was "temporary" while they ordered new traffic lights.
Most normal people would order the traffic lights then just install them when they arrived, not completely change the road layout twice in a month!
Total waste of money? Yup!
Worse than before? Yup!
Upsetting to tax payers? You betcha!
