I have been liaising with Cllr Dorothy Gunther, the Tory Executive Member for Environment, over Prestwich’s promised “Deep Clean.” The promise, made by a Council officer in October, seems to have gone unnoticed by Cllr Gunther, who was baffled by it when I mentioned it as Council the other day. There was some definite back-tracking in the wake of that meeting, but since then (possibly because the broken promise made the front page of the paper) there have been positive noises. I’ll believe it when I see it, but hopefully we might have a deep clean for the first time in five years very soon, and only three months after it was promised!
