Cheer Shoes over telephone wires

Quote:
Councillor Steve Nelson, Stockton Council’s Cabinet Member for Housing and Community Safety, said: “We’d like to put people’s minds at ease about this. We do not believe that a pair of shoes over a telephone cable is a sign a drug dealer lives nearby - it’s more likely to be a sign that some idiot has thrown their shoes away!”
