trying to tidy up my town, force some action #SuttonColdfield
Frustrating to find another one walking home from work yesterday. Sorted this morning.馃挜馃挭 馃
Another day. Another tag on Park Road. How does one suburban street attract so much graffiti! Paint did the job that the Town Rangers appear unwilling to.
Have they been ordered? No sign as of 09.30 in Sutton Coldfield. No sign at the station about where this bus is. No staff in the ticket office. Info board devoid of info. Bizarre that despite all your staff you can't get a whiteboard and a pen out at the station. Will catch NX.

Doing the litter pick same day @BhamCityCouncil cut the grass - and shread all the litter! It really would make sense for the grass cutters to spend 5 mins doing a quick pick. Feels like it's laziness or a "not my job" attitude. Always a volunteer ready to pick up the pieces!

Sunrise in Normandy on the 81st anniversary of D-Day. #DDay81
Graffiti breeds more graffiti. Since this tag appeared I've cleaned away 3 other tags that have appeared on the same road in the last week. And the third this morning (although I could have got a better paint match!) Hopefully these morons get the message that they're not wanted.
Incredibly frustrating. Took 10 months of persistence to get Network Rail to clean the graffiti off the railway Bridge on Park Road... two months later it's back with a different huge tag! #SuttonColdfield. Not on accessible land so can't clear it myself
Great weather for a walk. Only two bags worth today...someone must have beat me out! ##SuttonColdfield

Noticeable for the first time in Sutton Coldfield... street bins not being emptied. Presumably staff have been taken off duties to cover for the strikers. Given we have @RoyalSutColTC surely now is the moment to prove it's worth an step in an empty the street bins?

馃殏The area around Sutton Coldfield Train Station platform 2 has become a more welcoming space for the community. The Town Council is proud to have supported this joint initiative by community groups, Friends of Wylde Green Train Station, The Spaghetti Line and Our Town.
Tags over the shops on Birmingham Road, The Parade. Wondering how to convince the landlords they should clean this up 馃
