JUST what is happening to the council tax, water and sewerage rates we pay? Neighbours have been to the council offices and can't seem to get an answer. Our drains are blocked and it's impossible to leave our homes without stepping in water up to our ankles.The council doesn't bother to clean out the drains any more and when asked why, can't give an answer. We work hard and pay our taxes on time so why can't we get anything done? We live in a town where the council does nothing to encourage people to come here and seems to want Weston to go down the drain (excuse the pun) because nothing will go down the drains.MRS J POLAND - Locking Road, Weston
