Champion of Grot Spots?

Anyway this made it ontop the Sleaford Standard: Litter
Update 4 Feb: I am pleased to see that one side (LIDL side)  has now been cleared including all the undergrowth! It looks much better but how to keep it that way is another matter.

At the moment Councillors are looking at Grot Spots and the like, around Sleaford Town.
Here is an eyesore: just look down Galley Hill and see the litter that has accumulated down there. Both sides.

Hopefully it will be cleared soon but no doubt, unless there is a drastic change in lay-out of the area, and attitudes to litter change, then it will continue.

Public Toilets and Rubbish

There were two reports in todays papers relating to public provision of services. One was about the availability of a public loo in Moneys Yard and the other was a report of the fly-tipping that goes on around North Kesteven.
At the moment councillors are involved in an exercise to reveal all the grot spots in Sleaford (areas where prople drop litter and costs a fortune to remove). Galley Hill is one. Fly tipping is on the increase in NK and this is impacting on the quality of life and also costs money (our money) to remove. We have a problem: who is causing it I cannot say but I have my suspicions at generally.

The news says that a cheer went up at a local meeting when it was announced that the Moneys Yard toilets were not closing. Not quite as I understand the intention, in the longer term, is to develop Moneys Yard for someting else.

The present ones will need renovation at some stage, as all such facilities do: so as a Town we need to look at the long term and decide when and where we are to provide such facilities.
 
Keep an eye on these as measures, maybe drastic, may need to be taken.

New Year: Old Memories

(Latest: the Wednesday local press seem to confirm an about change on the Moneys Yard toilets). Ok but let's see if there is a concession  required)

Well let's see if this year is going to be better than everyone is expecting. Nationally we have the Olympics and the Diamond Jubillee.

 For Sleaford there is a strong rumour that the Moneys Yard toilet may be spared the axe. I will keep you posted.

Secondly I am on a nostalgia trip of David Bowie: he is now 65 so I have been looking at my Videos and You tube stuff of his old hits. Here is the link to my other Blog.  He is one of our most outstanding pop idols.
