Highlighting the disgusting state of streets and green spaces in hitchin and north herts in the hope it might provoke local govt action

[Filthy hitchin @FilthyHitchin]

@Herts_Highways recent works to highbury road - hitchin - the pictorial definition of half arsed.

[Filthy hitchin @FilthyHitchin]

@easyJet anyone fancy answering?? world record for being on hold currently held by quantas I’m feeling lucky this evening

[Filthy hitchin @FilthyHitchin]

@easyJet my flights been cancelled. Party of 6. 3 of whom can no longer fly. 3 of whom wish to rebook. App can’t do this. In person staff at airport can’t do this. On hold for nearly 2 hours … useless service

[Filthy hitchin @FilthyHitchin]

@SarahHalsey6 @TLRailUK An utterly unhelpful reply. No indication of how long this will continue. What the issue is? Why it is at the same peak times everyday 🤷‍♂️

[Filthy hitchin @FilthyHitchin]

@TLRailUK why do you keep cancelling trains between hitchin and Hatfield at peak times??? And how long will this continue???. Today it’s the 7:34 and return Hatfield to hitchin 16:50 and 17:20 it’s ridiculous!

[Filthy hitchin @FilthyHitchin]

@TLRailUK Thanks Hannah. So does this mean I can now expect no trains at peak times between hitchin and stopping stations for the foreseeable future? shall I quit my job now before I’m sacked for being late and leaving early because of TL service??

[Filthy hitchin @FilthyHitchin]

@TLRailUK @NorthHertsDC @NorthHertsSam station approach road in hitchin still full of litter. A terrible first impression of our town. NHDC need to install a bin opposite station entrance clearly visible upon exit. In the meantime please can TL litterpick! The volume is crazy!

[Filthy hitchin @FilthyHitchin]

@TLRailUK ”world class public services” Johnson July 2022… thameslink. Yesterday 1 hour 30mins farringdon to hitchin. This morning Stationary at Finsbury Park for 15-20mins no announcement. One last mistruth bojo?

[Filthy hitchin @FilthyHitchin]

@GNRailUK @TLRailUK @NorthHertsSam @NHDCLibDems. Please can you ensure the station approach road is swept / cleaned. Even for a litter picker like me it’s too much to collect everyday alone! A bin opposite station entrance would also go a long way. First impression of hitchin.

[Clean Up Britain @cleanupbritain]

Difficult to disagree...

[Filthy hitchin @FilthyHitchin]

@cleanupbritain Hi there, please can you help @NorthHertsDC @cleanupbritain, the stretch of A602 from whitehill road, hitchin to A1 motorway Road about is covered with litter. Also charlton road / willow lane hitchin between A505 / A602 is a disgrace. Please please can crews be sent to tidy up?

[Filthy hitchin @FilthyHitchin]

@NorthHertsDC @NorthHertsSam cycled in countryside outside hitchin on Tuesday eve. in 30mins passend 5+ incidents of fly tipping. Little almshoe road, the junction with little almshoe lane and sperberry hill and Blake more end all seemed to be a real hotspot. All reported.

@TLRailUK @thetrainline E-tickets

[Filthy hitchin @FilthyHitchin]

@thetrainline @TLRailUK travelling from hitchin to farringdon but can’t seem to buy digital tickets?? Both stations have electronic gates why do I have to use unsafe touch screens and ticket vending machines??

[Filthy hitchin @FilthyHitchin]

@DominicRaab pros / cons Flexible home working.

Pros
1. Save 10-15% of my salary by WFH and not buying train tickets. (This increases every year)
2. Save 2 hours of commuting everyday
3. Spend more time with family and more money locally.

Cons:
....

[Filthy hitchin @FilthyHitchin]

@DominicRaab this is why UK will never return to office. Kings cross at standstill this morning. Unless travel becomes reliable, cost effective and doesn’t Relentlessly rise above wages every year WFH is here to stay. I for one can’t wait.

[Filthy hitchin @FilthyHitchin]

@TLRailUK how is it that I still require a paper ticket for trip between hitchin & farringdon. Both have electronic gates, I bought ticket on Trainline app!. Uneccessary use of machine, potentially spreading Covid and wasted paper.

[Filthy hitchin @FilthyHitchin]

@easyJet 1.5hours on hold to customer services ... no end in sight.

[Filthy hitchin @FilthyHitchin]

When will @NorthHertsDC follow suit?

[The Comet @thecomet24]

Garden waste collections resume in Bedfordshire after suspension during coronavirus crisis https://t.co/ePUMSsTfLO

[Filthy hitchin @FilthyHitchin]

@mnfell1 @NorthHertsDC They have just emailed confirming in this case it is NHDC land so hopefully it will be cleared away as promptly as possible! - fingers crossed

[Filthy hitchin @FilthyHitchin]

@NorthHertsDC fly tipping in Tittendell Lane hitchin. Flat roof building waste. Please reopen tips as soon as possible. If still operational please send personnel to investigate
