The issue has been raised at meetings after complaints from residents with councillors feeling that the centre of the county town has been neglected by road sweepers and litter pickers.
These are the teachers, nurses, police, army, judges, local services, road sweepers and all the other workers on the state payroll who keep the country going as a functioning society.
In 2011 alone, some 10,270 graduates found work as labourers, couriers, office juniors, hospital porters, waiters, bar staff, cleaners, road sweepers and school dinner servers.
