Mid Sussex Times - Tuesday 23 February 1932

A complaint: CUCKFIELD. 

To Editor of The Mid-Sussex Times. 

Dear Sir.--Can anyone tell what should done with regard to keeping neat the outside my house ? I have just examining it in detail. There are five old pieces of newspaper and untidy bits of paper too numerous to count. There are bits of orange peel, and banana skins. There are two dilapidated socks elegantly draped on my hedge, just too high for me to get at (I mean to try with tongs presently). There are numbers of omnibus tickets, and rags (so filthy) dropped by some tramp coming from the Workhouse, I suppose.

It would take me a whole morning to clear it up, and I grudge letting the gardener waste time outside, when so much has to be done inside the place. All this mess in some 100 yards of frontage! Is this not still supposed to be a "residential neighbourhood?” and what —if any- is the remedy? 

Yours faithfully, 

Paddocks Land.

Cuckfield M. McLEOD.
