Dear Sir,
So many people, that I have recently spoken to about this, all agree, the town is becoming run down by outdoor services we once took for granted.
For example, the terrible mess made by grass cutters, with footpaths and gutters covered with dead grass and strewn around.
Quite recently, hedge cutters left their cuttings shoved around the borders, leaving the area ugly and looking neglected around the top of my road, near Neville Parade. In Bury Road there are reports of cans and bottles behind the hedges near the block of flats.
I have reported these issues to Durham County Council, but nothing seems to be getting done and, when they are done, they are not completed and left a mess.
