Rye needs to smarten up for bid

The bid will attract more visitors whether or not it is successful,so is it not time to rid the pavements of dog excrement, the market place of rubbish, smarten up the lavatories (perhaps position some portaloos at busy times as there are not enough in the right places, )and stop cars illegally parking on pavements.

The pedestrian bridge crossing the railway at the north end on the A268 has 3 years worth of impacted leaf mould and is a hazard when wet. On the pavement side ,there is a metal pin standing proud, ready to propel some unfortunate into the road if tripped upon. Where are the people who inspect these places, and have they been along Military Road recently? The patching of pot holes was done early in the year but started breaking up immediately. Now the patch outside The Gazebo is worse than ever. At least give us a warning cone!
