Councillors voted in January to chlorinate the city's water supply after experts warned of there was a low risk of contamination. The council authorised chlorination for up to 12 months while the work was done.
Work on at least 19 was meant to have been finished by now, but the city council has indicated that none have been completed yet.

Am I the only one that suffering with the 'home help support services' from the so called providers? If so, is it due to either or all of these. My sticky behaviour, personal prejudice, underflowing racism, demanding a quality job from them, their difficulty in getting professionally committed workers, is it the unending waiting response from their call centres, any thing else? What ever may be the case, these services are mercilessly populating my already fully filled plate. Am I alone in this way here?
