It is very hurtful to read negative comments when you have just completed a days work struggling with a variety of issues, often encountering red tape which stops you getting a positive solution. I'm sure that if you were to survey council officers they would be equally,if not more so, as frustrated as the man on the street!

Most people just do not understand the constraints Councils work under or the limitations to their powers to influence things.
As a general rule of thumb you should not expect any level of government to be efficient. That is why the less functions they are given the better.
