cleanest streets

When I was a councillor I had a bit of a spat with the Lib Dems about the logo on the high visibility jackets that the council's street sweepers wear. (I know what you're thinking, "It that sort of arguement that gives politics its current high standing in the public mind.")

 

They said they would take the council to the local government ombudsman unless it stopped using the "cleanest streets in London" logo. But as so often with them they didn't deliver.

 

Anyway I'm sure they'll be delighted that Lewisham is one of the finalists of the British Cleaning Council's Clean Britain Awards:

 

"The search for the most spotless area in the UK has now entered its final stages with today's announcement of the Clean Britain Awards finalists.

 

"Ten cities, five districts and two boroughs were judged the best examples of clean and tidy UK destinations from a competitive list of entrants to the British Cleaning Council competition. "

 

I hope and expect the logo to change to "cleanest streets in Britain" as a result.
