READING the Have a Hart' story in the Citizen last week reminds me of the Mad Hatter's Tea Party in Alice in Wonderland - no room, no room, there's plenty of room!

But it does explain why one can never find a Jobsworth when they're needed.

I phoned Lancaster City Contract Services ages ago to complain that this end of the city looked like a cross between the Hanging Gardens of Babylon and Beirut.

The pavement at the end of St Leonardsgate, near the Spiritualist Church, was spilling over with brambles, hawthorn and nettles - so much so that there was only 18 inches remaining for people.

That is a real danger to everyone, especially anyone blind, partially sighted or on a mobility scooter. Guess what, no action was taken.

The idea that some killjoy complained about the sight and danger' of people enjoying tea alfresco at a popular restaurant where the waitresses look delightful in their uniforms, plus there is a beautiful view of the bay, is barely credible. As for the threat of legal action - it's outrageous.
