ALEXANDRA ROAD, MORECAMBE![]() 7/2/04: I thought you might like to see this, this is a common occurennce outside my front door in Alexandra Road Morecambe. I ring the council at least once a week to come and clear rubbish. it is normally collected on a Monday, but people dump their rubbish from Tuesday onwards. Tom Weir BEAUMONT BRIDGE, SKERTON 13 February 2004: I took this shot last weekend of the path that leads down from the A6 (Slyne Rd.) to the Lancaster Canal at Beaumont Bridge. That is really the path. It is like that all winter and it gets even worse after heavy rain. People have to wade through that if they want to get to the canal, yet just five minutes walk up stream the Council and British Waterways have just been shouting about the new upgraded all weather towpath going through mostly non-residential areas.As far as I can find out there are no plans to 'upgrade' the path I am complaining about. The path on the other side of the A6 down the canal is just a litter dumping area. We have three councillors (all Labour) and they don't do anything about it. People are getting a raw deal. Tony de Wolf 80 Slyne Rd., Lancaster
CHILDREN AND LITTER I'd also point out that City Contract Services has had problems due to
the last administration undermining its work. From 1999 to 2003 the
level of casual labour and the resultant costs rose dramatically and,
worst still, much of the rubbish trucks have been leased at ridiculous
cost rather than being bought outright. Thankfully much of this mess is
being put right but it is a slow process. What do you think? Send us pictures of your local grot spots and suggestions on how the council could improve things! Write to
and put "Grot Spot" in the subject line. Remember to tell us where any photo was taken and when. Is there a particular rubbish spot that never seems to get cleared? A street light that never gets fixed? Let us know! |
