As a resident of Richmond Avenue in Grappenhall, I have just witnessed the most outrageous use of council taxpayers’ money by this council that I have seen for a long time.

Richmond Avenue, which is a 20mph no through road used only by residents and visitors, has been resurfaced – but only half of it.

This is a road with no holes in it that I am aware of whereas you can drive around this borough and find numerous roads full of potholes.

Stockton Heath is a prime example.

Councillors should be ashamed at the waste of money.

It seems the world has gone mad.
