Now that we have a Labour-run council one of the things they should start on is getting the pavements in the centre of York washed clean on a regular basis as they are in a disgusting state.
Don’t just wait for God to send the rain to wash them down.
Many years ago I remember individual small shop owners would wash the pavements down outside their property.
Being brought up in a pit village in County Durham I can still see my dad (swilling) washing the footpath outside the house like all the miners did.
