On my return form a holiday in October, I made a post moaning about the rubbish standards we seem to accept in this Country. The roadworks on the Hockley/Rayleigh road were one of my complaints. Guess what, they are still there. The blokes appear to working on the pavement, and have been for over 3 months now but they have to shut off a long stretch of the road and put in temp traffic lights. Why dont they work at night or get more than 2 or 3 people on the job?
I just emailed the government transport office with a query with regard to licenses required for various vehicles, as directed on their website. The instant email response is:
Thank you for your recent e-mail. This is receiving attention. Our service standard is to reply to 97% of all correspondence within 10 working days.
10 days to answer a simple question? Absolutely ridiculous. If most small business' conducted themselves in this manner they would be skint before you know it.
Why cant government departments be run efficiently? Surely there cant be a lack of employable people.
