AS WE have been enjoying some rather decent weather lately I decided to take my gorgeous granddaughter for a walk along Malpas Canal. I first purchased a loaf of bread as she enjoys feeding the ducks. There the enjoyment ended, as I entered the canal the overgrown vegetation was an absolute disgrace. If anyone wanted to film I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here they would have a prime location. Not only that the amount of empty cans strewn among the bushes was like a music festival had just finished. To top it all there was bags of dog excrement hung on the branches of trees. I was absolutely disgusted, where I ask are our taxes being spent? On the usual non-important projects no doubt.
