1 A. Yes, or they can cross through because they have
2 already covered Walpole or, sorry, Leonard Terrace, they
3 have already covered because ------

5 MR. JUSTICE BELL: You say this is the way people do it but, as
6 I understand it, the trash walk plan is just a plan of the
7 streets?
8 A. And it says the route, sir, because the problem -----
9
10 Q. You have arrows on it?
11 A. Yes, sir, because the problem which Miss Linda Wells
12 highlighted at the time was that the frequency of the
13 environment/index.html">litter patrol was, you know, to increase. And what
14 happened was, if you turn left as soon as you come out of
15 McDonald's, and you could either go right or you could go
16 left, and if the person has gone, first person has gone
17 left and the second person has taken a different route ---
18
19 Q. I understand all that.
20 A. -- there would be a time gap.
21
22 Q. But, surely, one person, suppose they find themselves
23 walking up St. Leonard's Terrace with Royal Avenue and then
24 Walpole Street on their left, do they always do it the same
25 way or one chap's normal course might be to go straight on
26 to Walpole Street but he might ---
27 A. Normally, the first -----
28
29 Q. Just let me finish, please -- he might see a bit of environment/index.html">litter
30 up Royal Avenue and, therefore, decide to go and pick that
31 up first. Was it absolutely regimented or was something
32 left to the discretion of the people who did it?
33 A. People might have taken that but, firstly, when we
34 start any crew member, we always make sure the dining area
35 host or hostess go with them to show the route. But, it is
36 very difficult, on the other hand, to regiment that in the
37 sense that then another person has to be watching all the
38 time, but then the managers, they go around in the street
39 just to check the job is done.

41 MS. STEEL: Are both of the streets in Royal Avenue compulsory
42 areas for the environment/index.html">litter patrol to walk right the way along and
43 pick up all the environment/index.html">litter?
44 A. Yes, ma'am.
45
46 Q. They are?
47 A. Yes.
48
49 Q. After doing this "U" down Royal Avenue, you say that the
50 employees would be back at the store?
51 A. Yes.
52
53 Q. Then what would they do?
54 A. They would deposit their environment/index.html">litter, put it in the lift and
55 send it downstairs ---
56
57 Q. And then?
58 A. -- to the compactor room, or if it is a bin liner, if
59 it is needed, they will change the bin liner outside the
60 bins, the bins which are placed outside, and take the one
