Bishop Alcock Road litter removal

John Fareham and John Abbott have arranged for community payback persons to remove litter and fly tipping from land near the old Aneurin Bevan Lodge site on Bishop Alcock Road. Leaving to one side the merits of those who have committed criminal offences putting something back into the community as part of their punishment, this is work with obvious consequences for residential and visual amenity as far as local residents are concerned, and in a planning context, given that it may be some time before the proposed new buildings on this side begin to be constructed, it is as well to have a plan in place to keep this site tidy in the meantime. We do not regard this course of action as a complete answer to fly tipping or litter, but it is a considerable step in the right direction and we will of course revisit the matter as and when necessary.
