Just watched The Street on BBC iplayer. I found it really interesting but i am sure if we did something like that on our street the place would be in uproar. I am sure there would be definite i'm alright Jacks and others with more empathy. It just made me realise about more hidden services like street cleaners, cleaning of public toilets and social care, as well as the more obvious services that affect me personally. I am not sure i would be able to make some of those choices about social care.

Without it turning personal - what do other people think of the programme ?

i think it was a joke! im sure some places have problems like that but where i live we dont have them, it just seemed like council propaganda to make them look good to me. All they do for me is empty my bins once a week and it costs £122! why are people like me paying to clean places that are trashed by a few prats??

why not base council tax on how much an area needs to be maintained??? then when they have to pay for the mess they make to be cleaned they may think twice about doing it??
