When the public realm looks like some giant ham fisted fuckface has smashed up your streets & filled the gaps with road marmite - because no one will notice!! Or how ongoing street neglect justifies not being able to have nice things in the first place! #shitscape #streetscape
Step one. Allow utilities and your own maintenance teams to do this type of thing regularly and often.

Despite having powers to repair & make utilities replace these things correctly, don’t bother to use them. #shitscape #streetscape
Step two. Use the old bag of wank zero maintenance argument, to justify not spending a bit more effort on the tiny percentage of quality streets in your area. BTW Nothing is fucking zero maintenance! #shitscape #streetscape
At the same time & brought to you from the same people. It’s the ‘we don’t have any money for that nonsense’, yet regularly delivering this useless box of turds to your local streets and spaces.
Final steps. Tell local residents, because of this terrible neglect, they can’t have their existing nice streets. Like it’s someone else’s fault/responsibility?! Then rip them all up & replace with tarmac! Jobs a good un and hi-ho bollocks to character! #shitscape #streetscape
Thanks to all the kind lovely people who sent photos to me over the last few months just a few too many to mention.
