Thanks to everyone from Currock and all over Carlisle for attending tonight’s protest against the City Council losing £1 million earmarked for the safe footpath/cycleway link from Currock and Etterby into the town centre.
My neighbours and I have campaigned for 4 years to have the dangerous Currock-Denton Holme footbridge replaced with a family-friendly ramp, only to see the couldn’t-care-less councillors blow the funding by not doing their work on time.
I asked them years ago to look for alternative funding but they’ve done nothing.
They have utter contempt for the people of Currock – like the pensioner from Jubilee Rd who smashed her face on the broken steps or the medic who slipped on the still untreated stairs and broke his back. Well now its time to make them pay the political price by voting them out next week.
