It's the one thing I despair of here and I really wish the council would run a 'clean up' campaign, not that I think anyone would take a blind bit of notice. Judging by the amount of time some of my neighbours spend with a hosepipe in their hand washing down every surface of their homes, they must be immaculate, but all seems to stop at their front gate where they seem to think nothing of tipping rubbish into the street.
I got so fed up with this, I got a friend to bring me over one of those Helping Hands devices for picking up litter, I walked our short street today and filled a large bin sack with rubbish. I know this was a waste of time as tomorrow we will have Bim, Gempa, Kipa et al poking leaflets into every gate, all of which will end up in the street !
