Thinking of all the stress we have endured over the past 12 months with our roads, all the money wasted on policies which have turned out to be white elephants, Swindon should lead the way and arrange a certificate highlighting a councillor’s blunder during the month and present it to them.

A councillor would have to work hard in order to achieve one of these. It could be presented to the Most Incompetent Councillor Of The Month.

Problem is, we would need many certificates each month.

Swindon was recognised as a town full of roundabouts; now it will be known as the town that stands still in gridlock.
