Oh we're not short of a bit of squeaking but I think HBC just turns a deaf ear.

However, that wasn't what was meant.


You can spend a whole week with volunteers cleaning up the parks and getting rid of the druggies' needles, painting over the graffiti, mending broken fences etc but turn your back on it for a couple of days and the vandals are round there again wrecking the place. We need people employed on a regular basis to look after the parks like we had 'in the olden days'.
