    “We spotted Litter as usual in the Highfields Centre Car Park on Stoughton Street.

    Leicester City Council bag of rubbish dumped outside the entrance of Maisonettes in Pegasus Close.

    And someone loitering in a known drug dealing location in St Peters.

    We also spotted Pete, one of our wardens taking care of things in Neptune Close.

    In Conduit Street which has street drinking ban had lo and behold street drinking in progress.

    Spotted anything else in St Peters we have not?

    Tweet us and let us know @StPetersNM”

    “You are all very sad, if you want to see your homes and cars that much, why don't you simply step out of your house and look at them. As for AK, Harigey, London, you need to get out more!”
