A new initiative has been launched by English Heritage to clear up the streets in our towns and cities. Burnley Borough Council has joined with other agencies to improve the state of our streets and is holding up Hammerton Street as an example of what can be achieved.
I am sure we would all like to see an end to cracked and sunken pavements in the town as well as the bollards that seem to appear overnight in many places.
Do you think it will really happen or is it a public relations exercise? When you get away from the town centre there is a massive backlog of broken pavements and litter in back streets and there doesn't seem to be the staff to deal with the everyday jobs never mind improvements.
