CAMPAIGN TO CLEAN UP CARTER STREET

For years the area on Carter Street next to St Peter's Primary School has been a dumping ground. The TRA used its annual grant funding to put a planter in the space near the containers to discourage fly-tippers in 2016. Initially this worked but the area went back to being a dumping ground soon afterwards. We applied under Cleaner Greener Safer to fill the whole area with a flower bed and put the bins on Carter Street itself (like the other communal bins so no reduction of parking spaces). We were not successful in the last round of bids. The TRA is taking photos daily to show the extent of the problem. We will be applying for funding again this autumn. This level of rubbish anywhere is unpleasant. Right next to a primary school it is unacceptable.
