Should the council pay to clean up private businesses' fronts?

Recommended Posts

It used to be that the council would pay for vandalism on shop fronts/shutters (tags, etc.) to be cleaned off. Now, apparently, it does not.

Should it set money aside for this, or should businesses do it themselves? (Few do, unfortunately, even as retail needs a boost).

Why would you expect the council to pay for someone else's business?

If you your car gets crashed do you call the council ?

If you have a fever do you call the council

Why would you expect to be paid by someone for your assets if bad thing happen??!

As far as I understand, thet businesses are responsible for their premises including their forecourts. If the forecourt is dangerous - the council can ask that this be rectified within a certain period of time. Eventually council may repair it themselves and charge the business/landlord.

    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
    • I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.  
    • Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
    • To be fair, anything which waylays someone on their way to Palma Nova or Lloret de Mar from spending even more pre-flight time in Spoon's surely has some merit? I think losing a few quid on a litre of Bacardi and 200 Benson & Hedges Gold seems a reasonable price for society to pay. ,
