Re: Filth on the streets

Oi posh boy where do you live again ? in Cowbridge wasnt it ? - the Toriest of Tory areas. Surrounded by all that Tory filth you proclaim to hate.
It must be easy living over there in posh lands of the vale of Glamorgan, you are probably over at the golf club as you read this. You are one of those pretend Labour socialist working class heroes on the outside yet mix with the posh boys down the vale golf club on the inside who you do your painting and decorating for....

Well said, he's a hypocrite 😆

Re: Filth on the streets

I don't blame the council for general litter. I blame individuals for that. It's hard to know how to totally resolve it and I can't say I don't think there are enough litter bins around. They are pretty frequent and if there isn't one you hold on to your litter til you find one.

But, I do blame the council for general waste issues. The agenda of making tip visits harder, less collections for general waste etc is just asking for trouble. Parts of the city are an absolute state.

Going to the Tip is a piece of piss. Go online, book a slot, turn up and do your thing. 26 visits per household per year i think.

We need some teams issuing spot fines for littering. The word would soon get out

You can organise a litter pick in your local area anytime or join one of the many that already operate around the city. Mrs Citizen is doing one this weekend. Instead of moaning about shit, do something about it.

Whilst community litter picks are great in keeping local areas cleaner, they don't address the problem of people dropping litter in the first place.

Maybe we should follow Iran and start chopping off people's digits?

There was never a problem just turning up as and when. About 18 months ago I turned up not realising I needed to pre book. The thick prick on the gate who had a bit of 'power' in his head wouldn't let me in even though there was not 1 vehicle waiting to enter.

If you are talking about the council refuse tip on Hadfield Rd - they were all on the take. There was a court case recently where a few of them were jailed, taking back handers from someone to dump industrial waste for free.

Of course. But they do at least attempt to keep the areas tidy. Not sure what else there is left to do as it's a problem within society. It's also directly related to drinking and fast-food culture, particularly over the weekends. Which is why a lot of litter-picks are organised for Sundays.

I've often wondered what the effect would be of running a scheme whereby if residents / business owners keep their own postcode clean to a certain standard then they could enter a prize draw to win back their council tax - or there could be other prizes for the most well kept area etc

THe council currently spend more than £6 million a year on street cleansing, maybe put half of that up for prizes for keeping your own street clean and focus the rest on areas that don't
