Dirty streets - Page 3

Must say Guardamar is superior in that respect.

What Visitors? I'm not sure you are aware tourism has been down this past eighteen months by 80% due to covid. The streets were cleaner and garden waste was collected regulary 2/3 year ago when we had tourist. It's all to easy to blame it on, so called visitors, instead of placing the blame where it belongs "THE COUNCIL"

I agree Aitch.

The streets are usually very well looked after but since tourists and non residents have been allowed to enter, there is so much more littering in recent weeks. Some people have no conscience and/or are just filthy.

So frustrating!!

Absolutely. Disgusting, lazy owners who allow the spread of disease and also a hazard for humans and other animals.

For the sake of a few mins to clean up after THEIR dogs. I hope they're spotted and get the hefty fine due. 😡

TBH if I see ANYONE letting their dog shit on the pavement, and not pick it up, I'll rub their effing face in it! 

Well said, unfortunately no one ever sees this happening, the owners know that allowing their dogs to foul the area is wrong but dont care.

You get that problem everywhere to be fair. Here in Benidorm it is a problem too but mainly down the back streets where (couldn't care less) dog owners go because its unlikely they will be caught out allowing the dog to foul. It's like doing a slalom course going along some back streets!!

To Dog owners........sort yourselves out!!!

The dog mess is a real big problem , It is disgusting. You can accidently walk on it in the evenings as the lighting can be quite poor.

Hi,   yes I am aware that tourism is down significantly on 2019 levels but then it's not the tourists that are the main source of the rubbish around the bins. When I was over in June there were plenty of people about, mostly longer term renters or second home owners, of all nationalities. 

  The areas where communal bins are located near us in Los Dolses are a mix of okay and bad. The bin area at the junction of Calle Almendra/Calle Papaya was, probably still is, a disgrace, mattresses, broken bed frames, large fridge, a sofa, plus numerous bags of other junk. Added to that is the seemingly obligatory piles of garden waste, which just seem to get dumped alongside the waste bins. I'm not sure why the council have not put a CCTV camera there as it's a constant problem. I don't think that is the sort of waste that tourists would dump.

  The bins for landfill waste, bottles, cardboard/paper recycling do seem to get emptied regularly but the other rubbish gets left longer. 

  What is the council's responsibility that they should address is all the weeds and wild undergrowth that sprouts up along the roads and the canals in the area.  looks awful and is causing damage to the roads and pavements. Generally the roads/pavements within communities are looked after, probably by the property owners themselves

Aitch.

Having been in El Campello July/August, I thought the streets looked pretty clean and free of dog muck.  Maybe it was because I only walked around the area from the tram to the market and beach area, they keep those streets clean because of tourists?
