[Brighton] Street cleaners

[BensGrandad]

A couple of weeks ago we were in London Rd and a chap stopped with his Doberman who did a pile on the pavement. The dog finished his job and the owner then walked off with him and made no attempt to pick it up. 20 years ago I would have pulled him up about it and taken my chance but not now I just chickened out and left it.

It's an unusually dirty town. But it's a place of renters, drifters, not enough people have pride in it.

For me, this explains most of the causes of our messy city.

I also think a lot of the younger generation everywhere have been brought up with the 'it's not my problem now' attitude.

THIS.

I walk the dog around the streets of Brighton and along the seafront most mornings. The amount of rubbish on the beach (within feet of the bins) is disgusting - the Tuesday morning after the bank holiday weekend was carnage. I tend to pick up the odd bit of rubbish on the beach (particularly glass bottles), I pick up every last bit of his crap - sh|tty pebbles included, yet I'm not really supposed to be on the beach with the dog at all at this time of year. Go figure!

People are indeed, SCUM

Not arguing, you are right, people are disgusting, but a lot of people frequent Brighton seafront, on Bank Holidays and sunny weekends it's packed, so is there enough bins, maybe there should be more and bigger, seagulls and wind causes problems.
It happens in Plymouth as well but the city centre and Barbican are quite clean, but then we have litter police and they do instantly fine, even for a fag butt.

Maybe the litter louts and dog walkers all went out overnight.

I think a lot of the dog poo is left late in the evening, after the last walk, with owners not checking where their dogs have been.

Or not caring.

The fact that large parts of Brighton clearly resemble a rubbish tip at times, you can't drive anywhere in the centre of town without being caught in a half hour traffic jam, and house prices are at absurd levels won't stop smug simpletons on here attempting to talk down other towns in Sussex and beyond that don't have any of these problems.

Should I say 'heavily laden is probably a slight exageration and I should perhaps have described it as an abundance of rubbish. I must admit the vast majority of it was take away items like MacDonalds and KFC cartons plus sanwich wrappers and empty Costa coffee sachets so it is possible that I saw it before the cleaners had arrived to clean it up after morning snacks and coffee.

Well there you are.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Yes, they do. They cleaning lorries and litter pickers operate constantly.

But keeping up with anti-social people isn't easy, especially given the cuts.

Think you may have missed out an 'n' there, Largy

Anyone on here who has voted Conservative has no right to moan. They've cut everything so much the council can't afford it anymore.

Last weekend in Liverpool, I barely saw any litter on the streets (or graffiti). Ditto Newcastle.

I sometimes wonder that having so many visitors and a very transient population means that there isn't the same pride in the city or sense of ownership or feeling of belonging.

Yeah because nobody visits Newcastle and Liverpool.

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

The “I want something for nothing” element of our society will always think that as there are people employed to pick up rubbish, let’s give them something to do, as they have a job and we don’t. Nothing to do with politics, just people with no pride in themselves or their environment.

Love your little stories.

Do Brighton Council no longer employ street cleaners? Wife and I walked from Waitrose to Churchill Sq along Western Rd and were astonished at the state of the pavements which were very heavily laden with gold. I know it is the reponsibility of indivduals but surely the council must have some responsibility.

Corrected for you

 

[Insel affe]

I blame the homeless, jobless and students, all labour voters by the way....

Sorry, but I don’t feel giving anyone the ‘not enough bins’ excuse is helpful.

There is no excuse not to take whatever you took to the beach (or wherever) home with you, or to a bin just off the beach, or even slightly further afield. There is so much rubbish that simply cannot be down to the wind or seagulls (glass bottles for example) that it’s impossible to blame anything other than the feckless twats that leave it there.

Blame the Tory cuts to local council services

#cutshaveconsequences

Labour controlled council?

 

[wellquickwoody]

You'll be disappointed with that brain-dead, meaningless post. If you're not, you really should be.

You'd have to ask yourself why you posted it - aside from broadcasting to everyone your own stupidity.

Let's see - 'Brighton & Hove City Council care more about supporting jihadis than clearing up litter. True or false?'

As you well know O Sanctimonious One, there was more than a hint of irony in the original comment. But to acknowledge that would dilute your reasoning that you feel allows you to sneer at those with less important views than your own.

There were quite a few caught and fined in Littlehampton about Easter time who were caught dropping fag butts.The fine with costs, amounted to about £290.00 per offence.

Where does the money go. Is it like car tax where sod all goes back into the infrastructure hence potholes utd
