Dear Sir,
In reference to the article written by Nev Jones in this week’s Newton News about major damage to the grass verges on our town.
The photograph shown was damage done on Shafto Way, close to the bus stop. My wife took some photographs of this damage and forwarded them to Durham County Council along with information as to who had done the damage some six weeks ago. She is still waiting for a reply from our esteemed council, despite their obligation to do so within a certain length of time.
It would seem that the council are not interested in such trivial matters as these and are prepared to ignore them, possibly because they don’t happen where they live, but it is OK for us to have to live with this mindless vandalism, caused by visitors.
Disgusted resident!
