To all readers I wish a very happy and healthy 2008.

My 2008 has got off to a roaring start with seasonal phone calls about abuse of Council-leased property in my ward. To give you a flavour here's an extract:-

Dog kennel door hanging off

Kennel still has dogs mess on floor

Empty dog food tins( a lot of them )at the bottom of the garden

Rubbish out of shed on garden and has been there some time

Transit roof rack and expensive wheels with new tyres on them

Chemical drums but do not know what of

Orange cylinder under window

Smashed glass under other window

Tenants are believed not to be in full residency as the children are not living there

There are old trainers by the front door

Tenant has been seen climbing in through the side window.

Shoukld be enough to keep me busy for a bit!
