2 May - Sidcrap

I thought that blocked drains was the most obvious sign of Council neglect in Bexley but not everyone agrees. The streets of Sidcup are said to be littered with rubbish but is that really the same? Blocked drains are wholly Bexley Council’s responsibility whereas filth on the streets is put there by people. Traders have to pay for waste collection so the sacks are probably from residential flats above the shops and without rear access. Missed ‘bins’ become an even more serious problem if they are sacks and left at the mercy of any passing fox, or rat or crow.

When were those footpaths last jet-washed?

Note: I unexpectedly found myself passing this spot at 16:50. It was clear of rubbish. Councillor June Slaughter knew who to call. 50 years of experience paid off!
