The council is supposed to be clearing up our area. Last week they had a big truck out and a team of workers.
The verges have been strimmed
The rubbish is still there
Don't know why they bothered strimming. It's far too early in the year. In a month's time the grass and weeds will be knee high again.
This blue bin was blown over a month ago .
The workers didn't put it upright but finally yesterday someone did turn it back up the right way so it was ready for my rubbish. The blue bins are for recycling
Our little cul de sac didn't even get it's verges cut. With only two permanent residents, us and elderly Vaso, they obviously didn't find it necessary to give us a spit and a lick.

The councils around here do that a lot - strim without clearing the rubbish and all we get is chopped up rubbish. Their other favorite trick is to cut the oleanders back just as they are starting to flower. OK oleanders get a bit straggly in their flowering season but at least they are a bit of colour. lets hope they are coming back for your verges just before they get knee-high (later in the month)
ReplyDeleteSounds like councils everywhere read the same instruction book. Turn up, show face, muddle around and bugger off
DeleteWe are just about to have yet another Atlantic storm here so our bins could very well end up in the Irish Sea!
ReplyDeleteYeh, at least here they can, eventually, be returned to the bin place
DeleteIts stormy here in Ireland too.
ReplyDeleteRainy here today. Sunshine tomorrow. And so it goes on. Better than 40o day after bloody day
DeleteSounds like council workers are pretty much the same all over the world!
ReplyDeleteExactly. Good job to have really.
DeleteCouncils seem to work to their own unfathomable agenda.
ReplyDeleteThere was a big announcement about this clean up. I wonder if theyll advertise the results as well, whatever they may be
DeleteHopefully they get round to doing your street as well.
ReplyDeleteAnd that now the have started the job. They continue to maintain it
They never strim our road. Must get K to complain next time they miss us out. Probably in mid summer . A bit late by then
DeleteWe got 6" of snow yesterday and more to come! So no strimming here for a looooong time!
ReplyDeleteStill midwinter? The sun has been shining on and off here. Perfect for weeds.
DeleteHope your snow melts fast
We had snow yesterday as well, probably 2-3 inches...but nothing is growing right now except those hearty weeds tucked into spots where the wind doesn't blow as much.
ReplyDeleteWeeds are loving this weather here too. Hope you get a little winter sunshine to warm your bones 😁
DeleteSadly it doesn't take much for weeds to grow, at the moment we are having to mow our lawns at least once a week as the grass is growing so fast. It's been quite a wet rainy Summer.
ReplyDeletePerfect weather for the garden!! I remember how often I had to mow lawns as a kid.
DeleteI also remember those wonderful summer harvests, specially the fresh corn!!
