“I hope bringing the matter to the Express will help find a resolution. I tried several phone numbers, but all the numbers go to voice mail.

“One number put me on hold for what felt like forever, just playing music,” she said.

A communication from Ward Clr Amanda Davison said, “The matter was escalated when first reported on May 26.”

Kempton Express sent an enquiry to the CoE on June 30 and Davison on July 3.
