A written quote from an employee of Croydon Council concerning the £82 I give them each month:
"With regards to your high Council Tax bill, 11pence per month from each household is given to Streetscene Services for street cleansing, refuse collection, recycling and minor highway repairs. The vast amount is given to Social Services, Education, GLA, Police, Fire and now the Olympics".
I now live in Thornton Heath which is plagued by fly tipping, litter throwing -by the local community- who seem to have no problem living in squalor- and extremely bad manners.
There is no concept of a bus queue here and even adults think it is acceptable to put feet on seats. I suspect some of them have children. What will they be learning from their parents?
