Further comments/posts regarding pothole pictures from Cllr MacDonald's Facebook page -
- I though that was footage from the Mars rover when it popped up...
- Saw these earlier today...terrible!
- Disgraceful
- Who did the work ? Looks like it was the "Orally Men" from Faulty Towers!
- In true style That’s ERC for you !
- This isn’t the fault of the workers it’s management that decides what’s to be repaired, inept doesn’t do them justice, we need our elected officials alerting us as you do but also to get on the relevant committees in the council to make a difference in what’s happening
- Well said
- Cllr David Macdonald. - Independent While I agree with that in theory, committee work is absolutely useless if the majority of councillors in them don't have collective will to make changes. The only way that will ever happen is if the public elect enough Indy councillors to the chamber to take control. I was the sole Indy councillor on Audit and Scrutiny and I was banging my head against a wall. There was absolutely no other councillor on it who wanted anything actually scrutinised or publicised or out in the open where it belonged. It was nothing but a cheerleading squad engaging in backslapping sessions. It will remain as such until the public finally realise the only way they will ever get a council that they want is to vote for Indy candidates and elect Indy councillors who have nothing but council tax payers interests at heart. I can lead the horse to the water but I can't make them drink.
- Independent that’s why I put a x against your name, you could’ve named the headbangers to let the people know
- some have been banging on about this for many years, no one it appears is interested. In my opinion in East Ren when the administration is formed, they decide the make up of committees. The chair is appointed from the administration and each committee have more administration members than opposition. The Administration cabinet take decisions, then pass that onto the other administration members who implement that policy in committee. If anyone was to vote against the administration policy, they could be removed from whatever financially lucrative position they had been appointed to in the administration.
- thanks for the information despite it being horrific
- Unfortunately Ward 4 is the same as every other. those residents who voted for a party and not the candidate got, in my opinion what they deserved. The candidate should have been scrutinised to see if they were worthy of the peoples vote. Those that voted Conservative got a Cllr who states on his facebook page that he is the Cllr for Busby and Clarkston. No mention of Williamwood, Stamperland or Netherlee. Those that voted Labour got a Cllr who has apparently said, in print, that he does not work for the people of ward 4, he works for the council. In relation to those that voted SNP, I choose not to say due to the fact that whenever I mention anything slightly detrimental about any ER SNP Cllr I receive a lot, and I mean a lot of vile online abuse.
- I know the feeling on that one
- David Christopher Macdonald Jeffrey Bailey I greatly appreciate the support you gave me Jeffrey.
- David Christopher Macdonald ........which is what happened to our great former councillor, my predecessor, Cllr. Ralph Robertson (ind). He was originally in the admin and then was kicked out for voting against them. Dissent is not tolerated. I miss Ralph 's membership. He was a great councillor and a good man
- Shocking workmanship! To many just doing what I’m told , no pride in work these days and getting well paid too
- What do the guys get paid?
- I thought Station Road was a bit rough after a recent week’s work - but compared to this it’s pretty reasonable.
- YTS trainee would do a better job!
- A blind handless one!!
- The men are only allowed to do what they are told and the list they are given
- it's the quality of the work . It's shocking
- Do we know how much it costs to do these tar holes
- Cllr David Macdonald. - Independent I don't know the specific cost but I can found out the rough materials cost for the 12 or so outside my property and also the labour cost. 2 operatives were there with the truck for about 45 minutes -an hour. I'll get back to you on it.....
- Shocking
- Is that an abstract art project? I hope no one is getting paid for that crap
- We need to seriously consider withholding council tax and withdrawing consent from the fools that run East Ren. It’s a “farce”*
* Not swearing out of respect to my representative
- Whilst on the subject of roads... eaglesham road from cartsbridge to ashfield after resurfacing is so bad its like a roller coaster.. i feel sick driving up it ... needs sorted.. unacceptable quality of repair
- Cllr David Macdonald. - Independent I agree. It's an utter shambles. Worse than it was before. I will pass on your comments to roads.
- Believe that's the new plastic surface
- This is disgraceful, so these people know Anything about roads and surface repairs, I would not pay anything for a job of work done to this ridiculous standard, get these men in and ask them what the hell do you think you are doing.
- Should have read do these people
- Try coco pops and milk
- Reported Viaduct Rd and Arthur street multiple times and just ignored... Workmanship at Busby Glen for path replacement leaves much to be desired too...
- From Hawthorn road and up Round to the st Joseph’s primary is shocking as well. Apparently one street I enquired about is 287 on the list of repairs ERC as always you never fail to fail me!
