''The Street That Cut Everything'' is a British television documentary presented by BBC political editor Nick Robinson. Billed as a social experiment, 50 residents of a street in Preston, Lancashire were persuaded to go without all council services for six weeks, and work together to run their own community with the aid of the Council Tax rebates they received for not having local authority services. One of the film's objectives was to highlight the issue of cuts in public spending, but the programme attracted criticism for the nature in which the experiment was conducted. One major point of concern involved dogs being allowed to excessively foul the street, which the residents were then required to clean up, something which raised public health concerns. The programme was aired in two episodes on Monday 16 May 2011. ==Background==
Details of the programme were reported in January 2011, with the documentary's intentions being to discover what would happen to an "ordinary residential road". It would see residents having to live without refuse collection, street lighting and street cleaning, and the ''Daily Telegraph'' reported that to emphasize their point, the show’s producers had brought about 20 dogs to the street then encouraged their owners to let them foul the road. The film's objective was to highlight issues regarding the cuts to public spending being implemented by the Conservative-led coalition government and the effects these might have on the provision of local services.〔 Speaking about the documentary at the time, a spokesman for the BBC said: "This programme will explore how a community faces up to the choices involved in living in an era of cuts, and examine the way in which people act as a group when confronted with limited resources and difficult decisions."〔 The street featured in the programme is Beacon Avenue, Fulwood, Preston. During the show Beacon Avenue was however renamed The Street.
