An interesting and free-ranging discussion that covered many issues about our public spaces - all going towards developing policy....too much to cover here but the sorts of things include:
- current policy is to litter pick before cutting lawns - sensible - yet Highways and the County Council don't do this - they don't even let the District know their plans so the District can litter pick - this needs sorting.
- the trial for composting Food Waste in the Stanleys has again been put back - the new contractor has still not got a licence - maybe March. This is a pretty grotty situation and little the Council can do excepty keep insisting. The County plan to set up a compost site by April 2009 - it seems too too long away - we need to be acting now.
- Overflowing litter bin collection should improve now that bins are numbered and can be identified quick - just phone the number into Council - indeed any site that litter is seen phone in - the Council cannot monitor all sites - some get daily cleans, some twice weekly, some less often like once every 8 weeks - others only when reported.
- are there any answers to parked cars that refuse to move when street cleaning occurs? Sites like on one side of Bisley Road don't get cleaned because cars never move.
- could we not reward businesses that are more environmentally friendly - eg one of the Fish 'n' chips shops in Nelson Street does paper the other polystyrene.
- the pop up mens urinal is coming next month to near HSBC - it only pops up at night and will hopefully end the terrible situation of people peeing in doorways.
