The back streets are littered with debris discarded by people that should know better, also leaves from the winter’s fall still smother the pavements, becoming very slippery when wet.

As for the bandstand, that should be the jewel in the crown.

It is filthy and the sheltered area is full of discarded bedding.

The shelters along the promenade stink of urine.

As for the Town Hall, the mish-mash of cracked paving stones and tarmac would not impress any visiting dignitaries.
