Why is Durham dirty?

Cleaning your town or city should not be viewed as an expense. The economy in your local town or city depends on many things but visitors spending money is one.
So why is it then that certain councils either can't be bothered or simply aren't aware of how big a problem this is.

This article I came across online highlights Durhams problem in the city and the reason why it isn't somewhere you would probably plan a visit to if this is anything to go by.

With the smoking policies I understand there is bound be lots of cigarette stubs in public areas but does that mean people just have to put up with it? It may well be that with budget cuts belts have had to be tightened.

This is where it's worth taking a look at the benefits and cost of sweeper hire or cleaning machine hire,

• Flexible with low risk and low investment
• Standard monthly cost for the term of the contract
• The agreed contract can be terminated at any time and the machine returned to the hirer
• Breakdown and servicing costs are incorporated in the hire agreement
