Thanks Brian. I walked later this morning 8.30 ish and I passed the car! I saw it again a bit later passing my house in Strubens rd. But I have still not seen anyone on a bike. When is the next shift change is it at 7pm? I am not complaining just curious. Its good to know they are out there. And the clean streets this week are a big treat, makes the place feel much more in control. Now its just the graffitti. Perhaps the overgrown middle-aged unreconstructed ex- students who encourage it sould think again!
