Following several complaints about the condition of some of the back lanes in the ward we decided to carry out our own inspection.
We found that most of them to be clean and tidy, but unfortunately this was not true throughout the entire ward. Sadly we found dog dirt, rubbish and grafetti in some areas.
Some of the road surfaces were found to unaccepatable and potentially dangerous also. In addition we also found a full rubbish bin.
Most worryingly, we found the Harrowgate Hill school site unsecure and discovered the burglar alarm had been activated. We obviously contacted the Police immediately.
Clearly this is not acceptable so we shall be taking immediate action.
This will include:-
* Contacting our Streetscene Team Leader to report the problem areas.
* Contacting DBC Highways Department to report the poor road surfaces.
* Report the school site to the buildings control officer.
* Request that our excellent beat team to regular check the school site.
