time for a clean up

just read this report...not very good for incoming visitors

'Cesspit' walk between major stations smells of urine and littered with needles

Visitors flocked to Birmingham this week to ride behind The Flying Scotsman from the picturesque Moor Street Station. The walk to it from New Street is far less attractive.

It has always had an atmosphere more like an unimportant alleyway than a major route, even without any unpleasant addirions

Yes, considering it links the two stations and a lot of the bus services as well as the Bullring and HS2, it could be better.

Peter Plisner posted a video on this very subject on his YouTube channel a couple of months ago - along with discussions of a solution...

As well as improving it, put some cameras into these places and prosecute 'littering' (including urinating) offenders (you can be fined for this in public places).

AI generated info:

"Urinating in public in the UK is an offence that typically results in a Fixed Penalty Notice (FPN) ranging from £50 to £400, depending on the local council or police force. Fines are frequently issued under anti-social behaviour or environmental laws (as "littering"), with higher penalties or prosecution possible for repeat offenders or serious offences."
