WITH the heavy rain we've had I contacted the council to ask them how I could get hold of some sandbags.I was absolutely disgusted to be told that the council no longer distributes sandbags and I would have to go to a builders' merchant and not only have to buy bags and sand, but I'd also have to fill them myself.I am on a low income and cannot possibly afford this.What a pity our council has no regard for its residents but is quite happy to spend thousands of pounds on mindless pointy things that serve no purpose whatsoever.NAME SUPPLIED - Maysgreen Lane, Hewish
