Is it just me, or is anyone else fed up with all the litter around Borough? The residential street are particularly grotty. It has become noticeably worse over the last few weeks since street cleaning services have been cut. Busy streets such as
Long Lane (which has Tescos and several horrible fast food shops) seem to be being swept every other day. More bins are over flowing. It's a shame there are so many scuzz buckets around that chuck their cigarette buts on the ground and leave cups and crisp packets under bus stop seats. There's not much point in moaning about the council as they have made their cuts, and are unlikely to reverse them now. I take a bag out with me and pick up litter around the residential streets near me from time to time. Is anyone else as fed up as I am to want to organise some kind of clean up on a semi regular basis? It seems better than just complaining about it. I'd be happy to give up an hour on a Sunday but would feel a little less bleak about it if some others felt motivated to join me. :)
