“When entering Northumberland Place this morning, I was disgusted at the level of fouling by birds, principally Gulls, on the pavement.
What is the solution?
Bath’s city centre is blighted all over with this type of mess. I don’t suppose Banes has the money to clean everywhere, so what resources they have are concentrated on the Southgate area.
These deposits cause the pavements to be quite slippery when light rain falls on them. I thought you might like to put it out there for comment.”
While we’re on the subject of Northumberland Place, Nick, I see the plant trough donated by Cllr June Player is still in a mess.
Such a shame, it seems to be a permanent problem & looks awful. Hopefully something can be done, it is a lovely passageway
I’ve lived for many years in Holland where most shopkeepers, never mind householders, keep the street outside clean and tidy – simply taking pride in their surroundings. It can be as simple as when they’ve finished mopping the floor indoors they chuck the water onto the street – best done early late in the day. Simples!
