EXETER, EUROPEAN CITY OF SQUALOUR?
Permanently-stationed, gaping waste-bins now line up at Northernhay Gate to welcome visitors to the city of Exeter and to the once-treasured Northernhay Gardens, courtesy of FIVE GUYS and Exeter City Council.
Exeter has too many 'commercial waste' bins standing around the city. Why are not businesses required to hide their rubbish from public view in accordance with the city's own bye-laws? If they cannot, it seems to me, they are in the wrong premises.
Northernhay Gate, of all places, with its Victorian gates, its pillars, its paving, its greenery, its famous 'red-robin' and its listed buildings is a charming corner of old Exeter, beloved of college-students and citizens alike and too valuable to be turned into a dustbin alley.
