Public Relations FAIL!

It seems Colchester is arranging a 'broken windows' style services blitz on one of its worst estates:

Tim Young, Colchester councillor responsible for street and waste services, said the scheme was building on three days of action in the estate, as well as High Woods and Greenstead, over the past year.

He added: “This will be a sustained period of activity involving tackling anti-social behaviour, keeping the place clean, cutting graffiti and basically making people feel proud of their area.

If your area required this type of activity to remain habitable, would you 'feel proud'?

I know I wouldn't...

But Timmy isn't quite finished, and still has some room in his mouth for a bit more foot:

“Colchester is the only area having one of these pilots and we’re absolutely delighted.”

Good for you, Timmy...
