We have requested that BANES arrange a one-off clean up in the area between the river wall and the Waitrose service road in the city centre. Local members have for many years done a weekly clean-up in this area which is used by the Genesis Trust’s daily soup kitchen.
The Trust does its best to keep things as tidy as possible but the accumulation of litter in recent weeks has exceeded our capacity to cope with it.
This is mainly due to fly tipping of heavy objects and the use of the area as a litter dump and toilet by taxi drivers parked (illegally) on the road while awaiting fares.
If the council could arrange a one-off clean up in this relatively small area we could continue with our work.
