NLC Update (16/04/15)


A number of readers have been in touch to ask what happened to the 20th April 'deadline' which has been referred to previously. 

Well as things stand there is no chance of making that deadline because there is a 5 working day turnaround time which A4ES requires to get all the letters printed, checked and in a position to be sent out.

So even if the Council were to respond by this Friday (17), that would knockout the whole of next week and the 'deadline' would have shifted yet again to 27 April at the very earliest, but without any explanation as to what the problem is and when it will be resolved. 

As readers can imagine North Lanarkshire is fully aware of all these issues, yet there has been no indication that the Council understands the terrible frustration being caused by this latest delay.

Let's hope the Council gets the message and gets its finger out because as everyone knows the workforce deserves much better.

Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn...
