tony_santos Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Now I've lived most of my life just off Ecclesall road and, as a rule I've never had a massive problem with all the bars and take outs and the rubbish that comes from people using the establishments, indeed, I've seen some owners such as Harlequins actually cleaning up the mess left by students after a busy night. But lately, well lately the amount of trash from THREE main culprits is really starting to get me angry, those being K.F.C. TACO-BELL, BASKIN BOBBINS and COSTA COFFEE. The amount of litter all over Ecclesall Road from these stores is bordering on the ridiculous! I did some research and it appears that it's the SAME company that owns these stores! Now, those long time residents will no that McDonalds tried, and failed, for many years to open a store in Ecclesall. Well it appears that this company have managed to slide in with the stores they have, gentrifying the area even MORE! They originally took over the old Pizza Hut site by applying for a license to open a "Potato Store" but then opened KFC and a Baskin Bobbins (Or whatever it's called) surely this can't be allowed?! What can be done about the litter too?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony_santos Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 Sigh! I'm suggesting that McDonalds tried, and failed for years to open a franchise, then some company placed signs saying they were opening a store called "Hey Potato" in the old Pizza Hut site. Then, all of a sudden it changes to a KFC. It's the fact that, to open food establishments, they're obviously having to apply for various licenses, how are these licenses being granted with NO planning applications/notifications (Yes, I'm sad enough to read these) being posted, and AFTER they open the amount of rubbish being created! They should really have bins or sponcer bins close by! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No User Name Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 So where is the "scam"? I doubt the average person cares given they are suffering no financial loss, which is usually what a "scam" entails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrejuan Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I may well be wrong but, I understood that it was the premises that had the permissions for types of outlet. A1 A2 A3 B1 B2 Etc. The Council only try to influence the general mix of usage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony_santos Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 Any suggestions about the litter problem then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyofborg Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Any suggestions about the litter problem then? approach the shop management explain your concerns and perhaps ask that they sponsor a couple of bins or send a member of staff out to do some litter colection alternatively, you could challange the people dropping the litter about their anti social behaviour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
go4it Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Having been on Ecclesall Road during University terms, the Hallam students are a scary, chavy bunch of louts. I think as long as you can write your name on the form then Hallam take you in. Very little respect for the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeMaquis Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 ..... the amount of trash from THREE main culprits is really starting to get me angry, those being K.F.C. TACO-BELL, BASKIN BOBBINS and COSTA COFFEE. That's four. Time for Monty Python's Spanish Inquisition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
