ON a recent visit to the public library in Marlborough I was handed an amazing amount of literature on the Kennet Council, viz:

Know Your Council

Who's Who in Kennet

Kennet Conservation

Know Your Local Councillors

Kennet News

Kennet Times

All this must cost a great deal of time and money and paper, and I question whether anybody really reads it.

Yet Marlborough pavements are a disgrace. I instance in particular the one outside St Peter's School on the London Road where after rain it is difficult to avoid the puddles.

Why waste so much money on unnecessary publications while leaving the pavements in a dangerous condition?
