The council in its wisdom and no doubt at great expense, has decided to replace the awful patched asphalt pavements in London Road, Norbury, with paving slabs in an effort to brighten the place up.

It has not taken long however, for horrible black blobs of discarded chewing gum to be ejected from the mouths of mindless yobs over these pristine new pavements.

It seems to me that people of Norbury don't really care about their town and can't bear to see it clean and tidy. Maybe we need draconian laws as in Singapore.
