Obviously people still do this because the woman next door but one does it.

Anyone else do it?

She must hate her neighbours.....they have weeds outside the house.

What's the point though?

The darned things grow back. I've left mine this year, slabs haven't moved and the weeds haven't grown.

I've a hand-helld howker, which was fine before my wrists went awol.
I keep the path clear because I need to monitor the ant nests

We don't have driveways....

She's my ex MIL as well.

Another thing I've noticed...she NEVER puts out binbags.

I occasionally sweep our front and keep it de-weeded, but I wonder why I bother as the adjoining drive is used as a skip, to complement the weeks of dog dirt mounting up in the back 'garden'.

Yes, most of our street does, we also clear the weeks at the kerb and sweep the pavements. we like a tidy street :o)
Not seen anyone do it round here, only mowing lawns (I'm sureit's street entertainment when I try to do mine!(.

The council come and wash out the wheelie bins from time to time and they have one of those little road sweepers which does some of the main streets sometimes near the shops. Usually a bit of a state round there though although at least they've made an effort with the wheelie bins. It's very heavily populated round here and lots of ginnels inbetween the rows of houses and wheelie bins (and associated rubbish) used to be lining the main road at the end and never moved but they've taken them away and replaced with big communal bins now so it looks loads better. There was a sofa and other slung furniture out on street for about a week recently though.

Can be awful a bit further down where more students are but it's been a lot better since they've all disappeared for the summer.
