Today was Northbrook's annual 10 kilomtre with about 300 runners. It was boiling hot, so lots of water stations were needed ... and lots of water stationed means lots and lots of plastic cups discarded all over the road when the runners had had a sup .... and 30 minutes after the race had finished there was not a single cup or other race derititis to be seen. Nowt. All picked up and cleared. All roads around my Mansion, with a capital 'M', spicker and spanner than ever before. SO WELL DONE TO ALL THE MARSHALS. BRILLIANT JOB UNDER TRYING CONDITIONS.
Contrast that with the litter hanging around for weeks and not cleared up by the company employed by the Coventry City Council to organise their half marathon. The roads were left in a disgraceful mess. Perhaps the Council should employ Northbrook for their next half marathion .......... which has been postponed to next March, it has been annouced. So NO half marathon in 2013. SHAME!!!
