| It's annoying how residents almost look at other residents with derision who sweep up and keep not just their doorsteps clear but the pavements and gullies. So many sitting around fretting over delivery slots but cannot be seen dead picking up old nails and screws left by builders or litter or even leaf detritus and putting it in a bag or at least a neat pile to be removed. There needs to be education in Civic Pride. Where that exists it is noticeable how much nicer it is generally for everyone and that allows the council services to provide better maintenance if it is looked after and appreciated more. But councils need to be far more pro active and responsive when residents do prepare the way for them to actually turn up and remove the ready to collect detrius. There were streets around Little Ealing/Ealing Park that went 5 months with no cleaning at all with slimy rotted leaves from the previous autumn still blocking gullies and creating a very slipper road and pavement. But people should do their bit and at the very least not deride those who do. |
