Neglect and clutter
 Dust Bin Alley, once known as Bank Lane |
Commercial and domestic rubbish containers occupy historic pathways.
However with careful positioning underground containers can be installed in Fore Street, close to Bank Lane, close to the Church, two within the new scheme for the Market Square, and The Rotherfold. A similar waste system is in place in Cambridge.
Fly posting and petty graffiti are commonplace.
 Underground hopper fed rubbish skips are lifted out and exchanged when full |
 Communications cabinet and waste bin can be an opportunity for creative camouflage, and not be a graffiti attraction |
Lack of maintenance is evident in most streets
 One of many examples of building neglect both by landlord and tenant |
 NOW REPAIRED SEPTEMBER 2018 |
 Lots of weeds in side streets and shop fronts |
 Whose responsibility, shopkeeper or town council? |
 We deserve better |
Drainage systems in streets and pavements are not cleaned
 One of many blocked gullies |
 An overflowing gully |
 One of many blocked pavement drains |
Reinstatement with little consideration can be seen in many streets
 Careless reinstatement on Totnes town bridge, a grade 1 listed structure |
 Poorly maintained surface |
Ill placed traffic calming, poorly designed road chicanes, unnecessary signage
 This space needs reorganising with better cycle rack, underground rubbish bin with integrated planting |
 Confusing surfaces and messy signage. Entrance needs to be widened, regraded and incorporated into Fore Street, better for traders and shoppers |
 Indifferent construction on now redundant traffic management system |
 One of many communications cabinets in prominent locations which can be disguised |
 Wheelie bin disguise, Exeter |
