Street cleaning machines in India 'not fit for purpose' The Times of India is carrying a story about cleaning equipment being 'left to rot' in Varanasi, India, but unlike the proverbial UK cleaning cupboard in which unused equipment is often found to reside, this equipment isn't a cheap and ineffective chemical or difficult-to-use small machine, but two expensive street cleaning machines that don't appear to be fit for purpose, which were purchased two and a half years ago. |
Welcome to the
Cleanzine - the original Cleaning & Hygiene industry e-news Read by industry professionals in 148 countries worldwide! I’m delighted to have received an email from Brightwell Dispensers’ Dennis Carver, telling me that he and the other brave souls (several from the UK cleaning industry) who were cycling from ‘Rome to the Dome’ to raise money for charity, all arrived at London’s St Paul’s Cathedral safely, 16 days and 1400 miles after they set off. “Only three of the group managed the Col de la Bonnette (2800 metres), the rest of us opting for the 1996 metres of the Col de Larche, which was challenge enough,” admits Dennis. “We were lucky with the weather, but not the Italian drivers, one of whom trashed the back end of the van on the second day, but thanks to some sterling work by the local Fiat dealer in Grosseto, it was made legal if not pretty inside two days. Now it's back to work and it's the usual anti-climax, but lots of good memories to savour.”
Yours,
