Its 1990. After almost a decade of mixed fortunes, one time Countryside Warden Jim Franklin is still looking for a steady job. His present employer has just placed him on a 4 day week, and now with a family to provide for, he is struggling to make ends meet. Layoff is looming around the corner, and he lives in fear of being Restarted onto yet another temporary job creation scheme. Its no use dreaming about art and life. Somethings gotta be found now. A real job! In desperation he applies for the first feasible job he can find, A Street Orderly, which is about as low as you can get. But street cleaning is not what most people imagine it to be, least of all Jim, and what starts out as yet another stopgap job, ultimately turns out to be for the long haul. On the mean streets of CalderVale, Jim finds not only litter, follies, foibles, and eccentricities, but also independence and fellowship in the realities he encounters Sweeping up The Street!
