Sadly some of the most reliable of street cleaners are treated disgracefully and given no support other than being barked at by managers.They use archaic equipment a heavy duty broom and a shovel to lift and bag dried leaves.There are simple leaf picking tools that do the same thing in seconds and without breaking ones back. 100% easier, safer and effective. Do they have these? No.The bags get covered in Fox and dog urine, and then the poo bag dumpers start placing these in between and on the sacks. Someone has to eventually shift these and get covered in bursting bags of doggy doo.The bags should be removed asap.I cannot understand why refuse or recycling crews who do every street one way or another, every week cannot report in streets where green bags are a plenty.With a large amount cleared by residents this is saving the taxpayers ££££s so collecting the matter and then leaving the streets just needing a regular sweep up for the under equipped regular operatives.Maybe those managers ought to get their Hi Viz jackets broken in and get their act together.
