  Don't understand that statement/question Alexander - what does it mean ?
  
  
  Howard - I agree that many community volunteers will become disillusioned when they see the majority of people don't want to get involved, or help in any way.
  
  This can be likened to the Priory Forum; we are trying to do a clean-up of the Clarendon Alleys. Gone are the days when you just get on with it.
  
  We have got a number of "bodies" on board, but we need cleaning equipment; we also need funding to pay for the collection vehicle; there's the need for health and safety and a risk assessment.
  We also need to contact everybody who lives either side of the alleyways, letting them know what we want to do and could they help us by putting their (non-household) rubbish in the alley so we can take it away - we can't take it if it is on their land.
  
  I could say "it's doin' my 'ead in", but frustration at the speed of progress is certainly very high.
  Many people know what we're trying to do, but do they care, or give a fig ? Seems not.
