Looking at the decline around me, I doubt my local council has any money to employ said people. Our roads are full of potholes. Had a blowout on one not so long ago.

If the government can't get more money coming in to councils, this will have to do.

They said there is a skills shortage in the video. They can not find people to take the jobs.
