My house is on a nice-ish, but not especially posh victorian terraced street (Fishponds, if you know Bristol. We're not in Golf Club thread territory here). The street is pretty well maintained - it gets cleaned, the trees (it has trees) get cut back etc.
I walk my daughter to school through the 70s council estate round the corner and I notice quite a difference - the streets are clearly not maintained to anywhere near the degree ours is. I'm not talking about more litter being dropped or anything that would be down to the residents - this is street maintenance by the council contractors. Why would there be a difference in the upkeep if it's in the same constituency (Bristol East)?
