Of course, this would never happen on the Isle of Wight. No, sir. And even if it did, it would quite literally be more than my job’s worth to blog about it.

This blog will doggedly collate images of councillors looking glum whilst pointing at holes in the road, wearing hard hats or presenting oversized cheques. Lets celebrate the work of our local elected representatives! Tweet suggestions to @glumcouncillors
