High Street Voice – Dunbar was launched yesterday evening, with a view to any parties interested in getting a Dunbar High Street Residents Association to sign up.
As well as a representative voice, I would like to see the association set up a factoring scheme to facilitate essential residential property maintenance and repairs, namely gutter clearing and inspection. I’d like to see improvements in the street scene and a lot less litter and gunk spread all over the pavements – pubs and takeaways please take note.
There is a plurality of views about what is needed, though, including whether or not trees should be part of the High Street landscape (at least 2 people think this is really bad idea, though they are profoundly misinformed). Maybe there should be great big wheelie bins to dump even more takeaways and rubbish in? Perhaps some eff off ugly modern bus stop infrastructure with built in latrines? Pelican crossings to flash annoyingly through the night? Duluxing or get children to paint the satellite dishes that decorate our Historic High Street facades? Yet even more space for cars?
Well I know what I would rather have …
Let’s see where this goes.
