A DITCH close to the new Scunthorpe retail park being developed by Simons Group has been filled in after becoming a "dumping ground" for several years.

WHAT has happened to the public toilets we are supposed to be having in the town centre? In last September's Scunthorpe Telegraph it reported the council was trying to get funding for them – it said in the next six to 12 months. We've not heard any more about it since then. Are we getting any now or not? They are to build another college at the bottom of the town soon, but we still need the toilets. Sue Kilmore

Most jobs I've done have always provided lots of training, professional development and a proper induction before starting. With this job, you are kind of just thrown into it once elected and expected to just get on and...
