Letter: My filthy and leaf-covered drive is a reflection of nearby dirty streets in our town
and live on Freeview channel 276
The task wouldn't be so relentless if my street was regularly cleaned and all autumn leaves removed months ago.My filthy drive is a reflection of nearby filthy streets and, as a council tax payer. I expect better services.
I can hear some sticking up for Chesterfield Borough Council over this, and blaming central government for a lack of funding, but it was OUR council who "chose" to pay themselves £2.5 million in bonuses last year, THE largest by any local authority, plus increase councillors wages.All that was nothing to do with central government.
