REFERRING to a story in the Craven Herald of April 1 in which Cllr Stephen Place stated that “the committee was acting unreasonably by questioning the expertise, competence and reliability of the highways officers”, I couldn’t help thinking that his view would be somewhat different if he had endured the same experiences of the highways department as myself, which calls into question all three of those attributes.
In 2019 the highways department engaged contractors to remove and refit the stone setts along Back Castle Street, Skipton, which runs along the side of our house.
The whole process was a nightmare from start to finish and the section alongside our house is now more undulated than it was before the work was done.
