RESIDENTS of Abbeydale believe they 'live in a scruffy, deprived area which Redditch Council pays no attention to'.
The comments came after 136 residents signed a petition demanding Redditch Council clean up their environment.
Council officers believe they are winning the war against litter in the area but did acknowledge a 'temporary fall of service standards' earlier this year.
Following other comments at neighbourhood group meetings, a new cleansing plan has now been implemented, with cleaners visiting Abbeydale weekly and a daily service provided at the estate shopping area.
