Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

Derby City Centre has become untidy, unkempt, landmarks are being ruined. Derelict buildings not being maintained or repaired/sold. Evaluate Derby street pride effectiveness in the City area. Conduct spending review and give reasons for damage to 1993 Clock removed from the "Spot" area.
Derby City Centre has become untidy, unkempt, landmarks are being ruined. Derelict buildings are not being sold on or repaired and their owners not pushed to make their areas tidy and presentable. Recent acts of negligence include damage of a land mark clock, and an un repaired Assembly Rooms despite a £9million insurance pay out. Derby street pride is not effective in keeping and maintaining the City area since Westfield was built. The Cathederal quarter is being neglected and under funded. A spending review is needed and those wasting money need to be held accountable.
