DOM Morris, prospective Conservative parliamentary candidate for Exeter has launched his own war against the city's weeds.
Dom has told the Echo that he finds the current situation with the weeds unacceptable and believes it 'is dragging the city down'.
He said: "I am proud of our recovery and excited about our prospects, but our city is beginning to look cheap and bedraggled. Not to mention concerns over access for the disabled and elderly, and the longer term costs associated with maintaining our pavements.
"Rather than talking about the problem, I am interested in doing something about it!
My Conservative campaign team and I are volunteering to organise community 'War on Weeds' teams, to clear our city and give us something to be proud of again."
Accordingly Dom has launched his War On Weeds campaign with the aim of bringing people together who are willing to donate time, tools, or both to dispose of the weeds.
Aric Gilinsky has volunteered to organise Dom's team. Aric said: "We will be organising teams for which people can nominate their streets or pledge their time.
"Even if people don't feel physically able to take part, we are looking for items such as hoes, trowels and gloves that we can have a loan of to undertake the project."
To nominate your street for the War on Weeds or to pledge your support contact Dom or Aric at dom@dommorris.co.uk, www.dommorris.co.uk or call them on 01392 345060.
