I think we should all send our local authorities an invoice for replacment of rims; tyres; lower arms / bushes, shocks, ball joints; track rods; and arb drop links - that might jolt them into action. As someone mentioned the other day, why not get all the 'jobseekers' out there with a shovel? It's not like the contractors ever do it properly anyway - it's not in their interest - do it badly and they get called back next year!
