The other thing that stood out ...litter, the street was covered in napkins, religious pamphlets and coffee cup lids, I know it is windy but all it needs is an old fashioned "sweeper" or "pickerupper" (up one side down the other in a circuit) to easy.....
I saw a TV prog. the other day, showing a council team, early in the morning, pressure washing difficult areas* in the High St, ready for the day.
Areas* around waste bins, under benches ,street lights ,chewing gum etc.(ring a bell)
It has been said that there is not enough bins, and what we have are normally full, but they are in dire need of a clean such as above, as are the other areas mentioned..............
