| City targets fast food litterbugs |
Feb 12th, 2007 3:38:41 pm - Subscribe |
| Came across about a city across the big pond. Sam Skimin, head of the council's cleansing services, said fast food litter posed a real problem for his department. "Discarded food, drinks bottles and wrappers all have a negative impact on our city's streets, particularly at weekends," he said. "Council research carried out at the start of the 'Brighter Belfast' campaign showed 60% of respondents admitted to littering. The main reason was that they were too lazy to find a bin. Now if they can do it, why can't we in Toledo, do it? http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/northern_ireland/6353875.stm |

| It has been weeks, weeks and the trash bags are piling up and nobody from the city notices. The Mayor's office will get a copy of the image here on Monday morning and we can be warm in the knowledge that we got pride, and it shows.  Pride of Lagrange Street |

| The pride of Lagrange Street |
Feb 8th, 2007 1:32:02 am - Subscribe |
| While driving up and down Lagrange Street and looking at the sidewalks covered with the remains of the little snow that we have gotten so far, I could not help but notice that there are about 5 trash receptacles, those that are black and look to be of wrought iron. Yes, the winter scene is quite the picture, the show glistening on the sidewalks and the cool crisp air and people moving along the sidewalks in a hurry to get warm. And there in the midst of this idyllic scene is these trash receptacles over flowing with trash bags and trash bags spilled on the sidewalks and placed up a bench next to one of the trash receptacles. I can only wonder when the cracker jack city crews are going to notice these trash piles, all sitting in plain site. Reminds me again of the Pride in The City of Toledo, Ohio. |

| District 4 Councilmen Ashford blog comments |

| This post over on the Glass City Jungle blog caught my eye; "Mike Ashford has been, and is, pretty much absent from his position on Council. He does not listen to constituent concerns, does not return phone calls, does not like to talk when you corner him in public, and does not respond to emails that concern anything negative that is happening in District 4." http://glasscityjungle.com/wordpress/?p=900#comments I have commented to the council member's office numerous times and there has been one response in a nearly one year period, one response. Most of the complaints are centered in around District 4 where I live and we could expect more from the councilmen Ashford and we need more. |

| Landlords that is and people who rent houses out. Many of the week and week out complaints about trash is related to rental houses or apartment buildings. What is it; you get a house fix up, get tenants; and the leave it to the whim of the tenants? Hello...landlords....it's your property, your responsible for it.... |
