I ask Cllr Jack Foster to get his priorities right. The money spent on Deane Road - £50,000 for new lamp posts and another £16,000 for decorating the lamp posts and some thousands of pounds for an "archway" that has yet to be built. The cost will be over £100,000.

I ask Cllr Foster to take a walk down Cannon Street North from Deane Road down to Ellesmere Street. The area is a disgrace. The road has been dug up here, there and everywhere and then just patched over. All the area needs is to be resurfaced. So, come on, Councillor. Do a job that's needed very, very much.
