If they repurposed the town centres as residential at least from office space and upper floors of shops that might attract people to live and shop there revitalise them that way. The ever increasing expansion away from the town into the fields drives a retail park and amazon culture - if you are going to drive anyway, might as well go for the free parking. However if you lived above the shops in an upmarket flat, sorry apartment, then the shops you live by will get your custom.

 

Might get the counsellors interested in town centres again enough to send some funds towards the homeless or rehabilitation places?

Way to much like common sense! Demolish the lot and start again, unfortunately in Stoke-On-Dope they tried that in a place called Middleport, they got the demolition done quick-smart. Folk are still waiting for the regeneration! You

Up here it has been on the news a bit, loads of empty office space in the middle of town that could be converted, old warehouses to offices (and then to flats?), so loads of character but I think the hold up is where to put the wheelie bins of all things - offices get commercial waste collections and big bins, flats get little bins and the council.

Brighton streets have bigger bins at the side of the road for use by those in nearby multi occupation houses, I'm sure the system must get abused. Strangely Brighton do not collect segregated food waste from householders.

We had similar in Edinburgh - big recycling bins for the street, and normal rubbish was a bin out the back of the flat. Similar no recycled food waste. Now I have a compost heap and the food waste bin is a spare store for kindling

I still occasionally put food waste out for collection in summer but only for bones, fat or eggshells. In the winter I put them in the wood stove along with any dogshitbags from when out walking dogs.

The Highland council is changing the bins about, general waste bins are now either 140/180 litre instead of 240 litre, and a lot of the towns and villages have new food waste bins.

 

Tempted to go out at 5am on the collection day with the big trailer, free chicken food and compost material innit.

 

Might get lucky and find something for my own dinner too.
