\n It comes after the trade union launched its Reclaim the Lanes in October which calls for stricter enforcement to ensure shops, restaurants, takeaways and other businesses keep rubbish from recurring and have it lifted quickly.\n<\/p>\n
\n They hope that if the lanes are cleaned up it will open up other opportunities for businesses to create more destinations with a vibe similar to that of Ashton Lane.\n<\/p>\n
\n Chris says the situation has gotten worse over the Christmas and New Year period.\n<\/p>\n
\n He said: \u201cI have never seen anything like it. It has gotten to a stage where they are going to have to do something fairly quickly.\n<\/p>\n
