Milerston Street piles of rubbish.
Gregor posted on the 11/03/2015 4:19:02 PM
Hello everyone, is anybody else disgusted to have a walk from Duke Street along the Milerston Street towards Forge Park? I mean the walk beside the twin towers, above the rail tracks. The amount of litter beside the fencing and behind it - what a disgrace. I study an environmental degree and could pick it all up myself BUT IT'S JUST TOO MUCH LITTER!!!! Who do I have to report it to - is it the council? Thanks

Welcome to my world. I unfortunately live on this street and I'm utterly ashamed. You shouldn't HAVE to pick it up yourself. It'd be nice if they actually enforced the no fly tipping warnings but they need to invest in staff to patrol this in some way.

What happened to the "Payback" scheme?

What's the payback scheme?

It's where prisoners where supposed to do community payback, so painting, gardening, picking up litter. Obviously, a headline grabber then nothing.
Oh well, we'll just have to rely on people not dropping litter. What's the chances??

Thanks for the link will have to finally start demanding them to do something about that, coz it looks like it's getting worse every day?? Not like the neighbouring businesses ever care to clean it up as a sign of goodwill..

PS It is a big shame that humans who are supposed to be the 'thinking creatures' (according to a legend) cannot even carry out a simple activity of cleaning up after themselves. That is probably the easiest job to do.

Gregor - i agree. It was drilled into me by my mum that you kept your rubbish on you till you found a bin and to this day I still do that. My coat pockets can be full! People just dont have respect from their surrounding, the environment, others and themselves!

Duke street train station area-
The grass hasn't been cut now since last years Commonwealth games-utter disgrace.

It wasn't really cut before the games either. That's what really bugged me about the games. Yes, make the place look tidy, but not just for the tourists.
