I think its about time Sainsbury's pull their finger out and sort this shocking mess out outside their entrance (I believe this area is their responsibility?). The shrubs are swimming in litter which attracts rats. The whole area outside the store is in rapid decline, mostly due to the people lingering and littering outside that betting shop. Time to get rid of those stone planters maybe? This would eliminate the hidden litter and rodent issue. Maybe time to get rid of that betting shop too.

    Sorry but I have to ask, did your contractors actually look in the bushes in the large stone planters? I attached 3 pictures which literally show where the litter problem is. This is why this area isn't getting cleaned up and there are rodent problems. The problem hasn't been addressed, its still there, under and behind those bushes in the large stone planters, piles of litter, as shown in my pictures. The litter is hidden under those bushes, in the stone planters, loads of it (and it all comes from people in that betting shop).
