About time McColls cleand up the area where they have recycle bins in Exeter Whipton Barton road it is disgusting would never buy any food from the shop there must be a possibility that this area has an infestation of rodents. Council, Shop or enviroment agency not interested. Even if is not the shops responsibility to clean it surely they have to take some ownership for the cleanliness of the outside of the premises. Or at the very least contact the people who are responsible.
