Executive should clean up

SIR, — We often read in the Down Recorder about what Newry, Mourne and Down Council should be doing with the roads and hedgeways. But what is the Housing Executive doing about the mess they leave on our estates?

They cut the grass but do not lift it and the pathways are a disgrace. My friend lives in an end house and she gets all this mess in her garden among the stones — and the Executive does not want to know.

Young boys could do a better job. Does the Housing Executive not have bins to put this rubbish in?

Yours etc,
