While they paint tower blocks and brag about targets these blocks continue to be run down holes unfit for children to inhabit.

the riot of weeds that is passed of as grass in some areas.

Clear signs of a high ant population in the yards outside these thanet homes.

Rusted an un-usable this device for hanging out washing has stood in this yard for more than four years like this. Of the three that should be here only two are standing. TDC needs to clean up thier act and remove these dangerouse devices before a child gets hurt.

The trees you can see are the school.

This is one of the better wherly-gigs (Washing lines) it has been in this state for over four years.

Due to the often derilict nature of the surroundings (opposite a school) it is normal to find beer bottles, cans etc in the long grass. This one (in a pile of cuttings) may well have been placed after the last "grass cutting episode". I understand that needles have been seen from time to time in the road the school shares. We all know who the dealers are and we know that the police and the council know about them too. In fact the police have told us they know but are uninterested i the "small fry" and what to catch the bosses.

the good news for the school, (I guess) is that the dealers no longer live dead opposite.

This does not change the need for the TDC to clean up thier act and sort the area out properly.

The weeds although hacked back continue to push through gaps in the walls. The endangered wall to the right is a supporting corner of one of the houseing blocks. We have no idea what the cable was for.

A before and after comparison shot as the moss and weeds are removed from the area a stone at a time. Most of this work has been done by a mother of two.

A Local inhabitant investigates the damage to his hand. This photo really fails to show the blisters and sun stroke that locals gained on saturday.

Local resident and office worker Matt B pitches in and helps clean up the mess the coucil works have left behind.

This wheel barrow is apparently "stolen" and has been here over a month.

However the enclosed yard where the bin is has not been so lucky. No cleaning by the people who live in the flats shows just how bad it is.

After a short ammount of work in one of the enclosed areas the grass was once again able to see the sunlight. You will also commpleatly fail to notice the moss on the paveing as this has been removed by hand by another resident.

While removing the grass cuttings for the benifit of all (especially the pregnant lady with the grass alergy) I almost suffered a nasty fall as my foot uncovered this whole. Hd the grass been removed correctly there would have been no danger.

This image shows the attention to detail that was lacking from the job. After removing the grass cuttings from the trees one could say "missed a bit"!

further evidence of the butcher job done to an area on public view.

This patch is opposite a large school.

Here we see the grassy area at the front of the building. For once the garden people have been and butvhered the grass down with a strimmer.

the cuttings are left were they fell which does not bode well for the pregnant lady with the grass alergy.
