EARLESTOWN, which was once one of the cleanest towns in the area, is now the filthiest.
The council will clean it up 'in due course'.
Around the town centre alone, drains and grids are blocked up and they smell.
The pavements and roads are full of potholes.
Trees overhanging pavements are another problem, especially on the corner of Chapel Street off Cross Lane. People have to step on the main road which is a death trap with the speed of traffic and the way they mount the pavement.
So, come on councillors, it's about time something was done!
