This is always covered in broken glass but full huge shards is just ridiculous."It's a disgrace - there's nowhere safe to walk on that path as there's broken bottles all over the other side as well."I tried to get through to the council's grounds department with no joy."Our lovely janitor at St Louise kindly swept it all to the side out the way of the path.

But the council still had to come and clean it up and they need to keep an eye on it regularly because there's constantly broken glass all down the stairs leading from the bus stop too."David Booth, executive director of community and
