00:00I think definitely pink striped siphonate.
00:02Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:04Because especially in the student areas of Selly Oak,
00:08I think the bins are just lying everywhere,
00:10and it's literally like garbage and garbage.
00:13And like for students especially, like we're here to study,
00:16we're not here to like, you know,
00:18we're in Selly Oak because it's meant to be a clean, nice area.
00:20To have cleaner area around us.
00:23We are cleaning at home, but if we're not going to clean outside
00:25and of course Concey will not help us,
00:28we're not going to do like nothing, anything as a single person, so.
00:32Well, I think the library closures are going to be a massive impact
00:35on a lot of the community in Birmingham.
00:38I know that people, especially my father has come up here
00:42and has used the library quite a lot to collect books and read them.
00:45And I think it's a good place for people to work.
00:47And by having that closure, it's going to affect a lot of people,
00:50possibly mentally as well.
00:52And I know that has had an adverse effect on her
00:54and we haven't been able to have that offer.
00:56I know there's been rats, there's been an issue around where she lives as well.
01:00So I don't know how they are expecting people to manage that situation
01:05when we actually do pay them.
01:07So I'd go the homelessness around Brum.
01:10There's too many people just out in the streets.
01:13I think shelters are necessary, just places for them to go.
01:18If bins are not being taken out, that's just a basic health and safety hazard and stuff.
01:23Not good for kids, not good for the elderly.
01:25And it just doesn't look good on the city.
01:27Literally laughingstock of the UK.
01:29Okay?
