There has been a great clean up operation in Percy Road. Cllr John Salter is seen here with the Team. One delighted resident told John:

"We are really pleased about this clean up operation. There are still one or two blackspots but we all hope this initiative will be encouraging to everybody."

Several other residents commented favourably on the excellent work being done with young people in particular to deal with anti-social behaviour.

The Team removed just about everything they could, including some very small items as well as the obvious things.  Many residents made a point of coming over to say a big ‘thank you’ to the team for their work.

Meanwhile, a lady walking her dog drew John’s attention to a couple of sources of smelly water, one of which seemed to have an oily substance in it.  (See small photographs.)

John reported these to our Environmental Health Officers.

Do let us know if you spot any other sources of possible environmental concerns.
