NOT a single complaint was made against East Grinstead Town Council, or any of its 18 councillors, during 2012 according to a disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act.

Council Leader Norman Webster called the findings a reflection of the Council’s “hardworking attitude and its commitment to residents”.

“We are pleased that we have been able to address the concerns of residents and business people to the degree that they have not found it necessary to lodge any formal complaints,” he said.

“We appreciate the feedback which we receive from people, as it certainly assists us in establishing priorities for the town – the Neighbourhood Development Plan consultation process has been a good example of this two-way communication.”

* The Town Council’s responsibilities include burial grounds, street furniture and the maintenance of public spaces.
