I have made numerous enquiries on this very point. I have to be blunt RTCBC are not doing their job as they are required to by law.

They do not like members of the public questioning them and in fact would rather bluntly lie when questioned.

Its pointless approaching your elected councillors on this topic, as they are just the powerless clones of the unelected senior council officials.

I am pleased to see others concerned over the issue of street filth, for they too will realise exactly how poorly RTCBC is serving our community.

What I have discovered in my dealings with them, is that there are few there with that all important genuine desire to serve the public well, but plenty there ready and willing to deliberately lie to cover for their dereliction of duty.

This is an appalling situation which simply cannot be allowed to continue.

As it is the officials of RTCBC, together with the councillors are taking money off the public under false pretences..........and laughing at you all
while doing so!

And will continue to do so while we the public let them.

Rubbish on the road in Aberaman North who is responsible?

Photographs taken in Aberaman North a private industrial estate or owned by RCTC?

Whoever is responsible it should not be allowed to get like this just a breading ground for vermin.

Whose responsibility is it to clean up litter?

Local authorities are responsible for clearing litter from the streets, and for enforcing the laws that make it a crime to drop litter (which includes chewing gum, cigarette stubs etc.). Business and other producers also have a responsibility to reduce the amount of litter they generate, and sometimes also to help clear it up.

The government also provides funding to the charity Keep Britain Tidy to run campaigns to raise awareness of the issue, and educate people about the consequences of this thoughtless behaviour. It also co-ordinates the Eco-Schools project which, amongst other things, works in schools to challenge the littering culture from a young age.

RCTBC have provided schedules of their street cleansing programs, but again such schedules were false as they were not where they said they were a specific time and date...we were, cameras and tape recorders in hand.

Regrettably it is now the norm and quite expedient for RCTBC officials to deliberately lie to the public....even more regrettable is the sad fact that the public are letting them get away with it!

It's not just the streets that are dirty. If anyone has been into the bus station of an evening, by this I mean after 5pm, and seen a crowd of teenagers, who must go there most nights, not necessarily waiting for buses either!! They leave bottles, crisp bags, etc. etc.there are bins about, but they would rather drop their rubbish on the floor, for someone else to pick up.

Little scrotes need some punishment, get the police with council to just drop on them and make them pick it up and fine the parents.
