From Graham Anderson at SLDC
hi.
nick pearson asked me to update you on the cleansing of county square
the routine cleansing is the responsibility of sldc however the area outside coronation hall is washed down and cleansed by their caretaker
the area outside the post office has now been washed down by s l d c unfortunately there are signs of the start of a build up of chewing gum
flatgum embedded on the surface is not classed as litter and is not the responsibility of sldc but the highway authority. this is a gray area
alternative ways of dealing with this problem is to involve the probation service young offenders can do this work but they will need equipment
this would have to provided. or outside contractors can remove this gum but this is costly we will monitor this situation
A grey area, I suppose that's quite a good pun.
When will workers start using that rare commodity "common sense"?
ReplyDeleteThe guys that replaced a sign recently outside Oxfam needed an engineer and a worker. They arrived in two cars/vans. The work took ten minutes.
But then the sign was still unreadable so another crew had to be called out to clean the sign.
