Is Accy the dirtiest town. I was driving around accy today carrying out a few chores. I have never seen as much litter and rubbish in a town in my life, and i have moved around a bit. Blackburn Road, from the Royal Bank of Scotland to the traffic lights at Church, is an absolute disgrace. All the side streets around their are the same. These are just an example many other areas are just as bad , and worse. Do the residents of Accy have no pride, people in the town centre discard of their rubbish and unwanted food on the floor not in a bin. Drivers throw rubbish from car windows. Chewing gum is everywhere you look, and why oh why is the fashion of spitting making a big comeback. The only time I ever see street sweepers, they seem to be the same two guys doing a thankless job and losing a massive battle. What can be done to clean up our town. Accrington used to be a very clean and very proud little town and personally I was quite proud to say I was from Accrington. What went wrong. What caused this downturn and why are our elected representatives not doing something about the filth in our streets. WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT IT.?
