I’m pleased that I got responses from the DDA, by email, within hours. What follows is the body of the response email, [...]

I don’t want to sound complaining; I hate continuous grumbling about the weather. But we’ve had a very abbreviated traditional Spring. What we have had here in the city, and it comes every year like one of the four seasons, is a lot of road construction. I grew up in a town that was very [...]
