AN ANGRY pensioner was told it would take 10 days for Reading Borough Council to remove a mangled bicycle from the footpath in front of his house.
Gerard Gadney, 76, of Pangbourne Street, said he was told removing the bike, run over on Thursday night after yobs threw into the middle of Oxford Road, was not a priority as the bike was not a safety hazard.
But Mr Gadney, who has lived in the area for 36 years, said drunks were likely to use the bike to damage people's property.
He said: "It's lunacy. "That bike will end up through my front window before the night is out."
Luckily for Mr Gadney, the council, after being contacted by Chronicle Extra, removed the bike on Friday morning.
