Disgraceful state of South Terrace Reported to Council

stateofsouthterrace

You might think that it is only the City centre which suffers from problems with overflowing residential bins. But that is not the case. As this photo of South Terrace in Framwellgate Moor shows, there are problems everywhere.

The reality is that absurd planning decisions over the years mean that terraced houses never meant for five six or seven student rooms have been converted around Durham City including in Framwellgate Moor.

Developers leave little or no space for bins which are overflowing most of the time making it an utter misery for other residents – blocking roads and pavements, causing infestations of vermin and adding further pressure on council staff who have to clear up the litter.

Enough is enough. I have reported the state of this road to the Director for Neighbourhood Services. Something must be done. If you have examples of other areas with similar problems please photo them and send to us.
