At times garbage mounds are piled on one side of the footpaths or in corners, so that they become dustbins themselves. No dog poop signage and fines should be mentioned on many more footpaths.

Come down firmly on shops increasing their space right on to footpaths. Stop open air illegal restaurants on footpaths with makeshift tables and chairs. Remove small homes and even shops that have claimed a permanent, illegal space on our footpaths.
