Bring Les Amies back to Cranleigh
The Issue
Les Amies is more than just a street cleaner to the residents of Cranleigh; he is a cherished part of our community's fabric. Having lived in Cranleigh his entire life, Les is not only an expert in his role but also a trusted friend to many. His dedication goes beyond keeping our streets clean; he adds a personal touch that makes our village feel like home.
Recently, however, Biffa made the decision to transfer Les from Cranleigh to Farnham. This move has disrupted his connection with the community he has served so faithfully. Les is much more than a worker; he embodies the spirit of camaraderie that defines Cranleigh. His daily presence is a source of comfort and warmth, and his absence creates a void that no replacement can fill.
The decision to relocate Les is not just a managerial action; it is a decision that affects the heart of our village. Les is regularly seen around Cranleigh, not just fulfilling his street-cleaning duties but engaging with residents, sharing stories, and spreading smiles. His commitment to maintaining the cleanliness and spirit of our community is invaluable.
Our plea to Biffa is simple yet heartfelt: reconsider the decision and allow Les Amies to return to Cranleigh. A community thrives not just on the services it receives, but on the relationships it nurtures. Removing Les from our streets not only diminishes the level of service but erodes the sense of community that he helps cultivate every day.
By signing this petition, you are supporting the return of Les Amies to his rightful place in Cranleigh, ensuring our village retains one of its much-loved members. Let us come together to advocate for a decision that cherishes the bonds of community over mere logistics. Sign to bring Les back and keep Cranleigh's communal spirit alive.
