Carlisle council to spend
A promise to rid Carlisle of litter, dog fouling, fly tipping and graffiti helped Labour win four seats in the May city council elections and so end 13 years of Conservative control.
Now the incoming Labour administration has laid out plans to spend over two years on the clean ugg boots online up effort.
An team to run campaigns encouraging people to pick up after their dogs and ugg boots uk cheap not to drop litter they will also issue warning letters and fixed penalty notices.
Councillor Elsie Martlew, the portfolio holder for environment and transport, told the ruling executive: was one of ugg boots cheap our major election pledges.
have started as we mean to go on and the results are starting to show.
are going to have a programme of work so that everything is done in turn and we will come down hard on people who break the law. There have been two cases in recent weeks where magistrates have found in favour of the council on dog fouling and fly tipping. Scott, 25, of Welsh Road, Harraby, was fined last month and ordered to pay legal costs and a victim surcharge after he allowed his dog to foul an area of Dale End Road field in Harraby.
The council issues fixed penalty notices for dog fouling, the maximum under UK law. If the penalty is not paid within 14 days, the case can go to court where the maximum fine is Martlew added: read things in the press, mainly about litter. The criticism is always of the council, never the perpetrators. They should be roundly criticised for their anti social behaviour.
staff are doing a great job cleaning up after them. before the election, the previous Conservative administration had hired a deep cleaning machine with brushes that washes and disinfects the ground. This has been used in the city centre.
The council also made operational changes, such as aligning street cleaning with recycling collections so cleaners can pick up items that spill out of the recycling sacks.
Ray Bloxham, who held the environment portfolio when the Conservatives were in charge, said: of the things Labour are claiming credit for were happening anyway.
First published at 11:29, Tuesday, 03 July 2012Dear sir/madam I emailed three weeks ago regarding litter strewn all over Aglionby Street via seagulls, last night when I left work I put out our purple bags but this time I did so by piling them on top of each other in an unused green box we have, this has successfully prevented seagulls from ripping the bags up and leaving cheap ugg boots online litter everywhere however your operatives seem to have left one bag in the bottom of the green box, this was clearly visible at 20 yards so i dont know how they missed it! Furthermore when my collegue came to work this morning she witnessed the dental assistant across the road having to sweep up the litter from damaged bags from the front of the dentists herself. In a slightly unrelated matter there is also a black wheelie bin (which now contains the aforementioned uncollected purple bag) that has been left unmoved on the corner of aglionby street for over 2 months now with apparently no one laying claim to it. I know there are some things out of ugg boots online the councils control however the seagul problem seems now to be an epidemic, perhaps a cull or some type of recepticle (like my green box idea!) to place bags in is now inorder before we start attracting the plague rat or urban fox.
