ON Saturday, June 20, at 7am I went to collect my paper from the local shop and I was amazed to see Cityclean operatives clearing up all the rubbish along the Lewes Road from Coldean Lane southwards.

Being a bit naïve, I thought it was the result of a meeting the Mousecoomb Local Action Team had with the head of Cityclean/Parks on June 10 when complaints were made about the rubbish in the area.

Then I came back to reality. The Lewes Road is on the route of the London to Brighton bike ride.
