UU want to get some new script writers.

I originally thought the real reason was due to the burst pipe/leak on Burnley Road/Eastgate Xroad and that they finally decided to fix it (been like that since @ least Monday) - caught a UU man taking photos of it....or maybe he was a secret Stobart Spotter taking photos of the E.S Truck at the lights!!
