Dear Sir,
Our Town Centre is in a sorry state with dirty, slippery paving and pigeon muck – seemingly never cleaned. All over you find unstable paving slabs which remain unrepaired. Leaves are left in some places for months! It is particlarly bad coming off Stephenson Way where there are piles of leaves and debris.
The ramp is in a shocking state and the spiral stairway is filthy. Bins are not emptied soon enough and rubbish is scattered all around. Grime is building up on the edges of buildings and if I had visitors I would not take them into the town centre as I feel too ashamed.

EDITOR: We spoke to the Town Centre Manager who will respond, but asks readers to recognise the centre is about to undergo work as part of its redevelopment. Newton News hopes to print an update of the programme of work to be carried out in a future issue.
