I was back on the campaign trail today. This time I joined fellow Islay party members as we leafleted and canvased Bruichladdich.
We received yet another great response on the doorstep. I was however shocked that the local roads department has not only failed to repair many potholes in the area but the condition of local street lighting has gotten even worse.
Another problem I have been hearing about is the unacceptable long internet disruptions that are accruing across Islay as a result of the upgrades to our local broadband service. Some people are going without internet for days yet the response from BT seems to be laid back and at times indifferent. I will press BT to do their job and get our service up and running again.
