There is now a Site Management Agreement in place in Cheltenham that (amongst other things) restricts chugging to the High Street between Pitville Street and Winchcombe Street. At 11:44 today, I found a Greenpeace chugger in the section of the High St between Winchcombe Street and Rodney Road.
So, I snapped him with the camera on my phone. In this picture, the chugger is the guy with the dark green top wearing a rucksack underneath the "C" in "Cheltenham & Gloucester". At the time I checked that the top had a "Greenpeace" label and there were similar tops being worn by 3 other chuggers. He was actually "working", IE, I saw him approaching members of the public. The street in the foreground is the High St and towards the left, you can see into Winchcombe St. On the extreme left you can see the temporary fencing for the building works at the Regent Arcade. Perhaps the consequent narrowing of the foot way attracted him?
Next, I rang the Council and told them what was going on. I was told that the Council themselves don't regulate chuggers but they'd pass it on to the PFRA "hot line" who would get in touch with Greenpeace.
It will be interesting to see if any action follows!
