Shopkeeper's Complaint

From the minutes of the Cleaning Committee Mr Howarth complained of what he described as the slovenly way in which the streets were swept in the morning. Drivers would not use water and clouds of dust were raised which were a great annoyance to shopkeepers. He had mentioned the matter to the chairman of the committee, who told him he would take steps to remove the cause of complaint. 9th April 1910 Rochdale Times
