Letter to the editor: I wrote a cordial email to Bromley Council asking as our roads were never swept these days, are we therefore getting a discount on our council tax?

I mentioned the sludge in front of our building, a private block of flats, had never been swept.

Rarely, we hear the little green sweeper driving down the middle of the road, little wheels whirring but not doing much.

Come on Bromley Council, reduce the costs of councillors and replace them with road sweepers.

Let us employ people rather than machines.

Let us see work done and less dinner parties and limos.
