The Green Machine

The local council workers have got a new machine seen for the first time today on the Market Place and Bath Street. It was doing a good job too picking up the litter and hopefully it will be kept in good working order to keep the town centre cleaner.


It certainly beats the previous method which involved someone going round picking up individual pieces of litter with giant tweezers and depositing them in plastic bags. The machine has a registration plate which means it can go on the public roads too.This is one of the few occasions when I wasn't displeased about a vehicle in the pedestrian zone even if it was going the wrong way! When traffic IS allowed it should only travel up the hill as can be seen by the white arrow on the blue sign.
