With council cuts deepening and street cleansing often hit the hardest, have you noticed an increase in litter on your streets.
We have just been for a drive round Rivingtion a very nice area and the amount of Litter that as been thrown from cars is unreel McDonald's, KFC, crap all along the grass verges.
I don't blame the council, I blame the filthy pigs that can't be bothered to use a litter bin or take it home.

"No its lovely where I live.
+ 1. I think the council make an extra effort to keep the tourists coming  "
Maybe but even on the high street on Market day there's no rubbish  |

It's not bad round here at all. Dover is definitely worse but they've got so many take aways in the town it's hardly surprising. I often see the guy doing the litter collection doing his rounds when I pick up my lad from nursery. X |

Yes. I live two doors up from an off licence and there is a chippy at the end of the block.
Stuff always being thrown over the wall, left on the doorstep and just dropped and left in the street.
Weekend mornings can be like walking out into the local tip.
No bins now. There used to be two but think the council got fed up of replacing them after they'd been set on fire. |

Nope, not at all 
I live in a snake market town but there's hardly a problem.
Some litter from fast food places but not bad.
We have an organised Spring Clean each year, but never seen to collect that much  |

it is in the summer holidays when you get day trippers and holiday makers dropping bags of rubbish in the forest which is worrying because of the wildlife and new forest ponies.

I live deep in the country and the litter is horrendous
Drivers think nothing of throwing there car rubbish out of the window
The worse culprits are the contractors. Silage cutting time and the roads are littered with cans, bottles and food wrappers

Yes you certainly see the
Dark side of people typical example of
What you have just mentioned here happens elsewhere in the country
We used to have a telephone box
Just around the corner of the street
And it did not matter how many times
The phone and box were repaired be it
Months or longer It was vandalised
At the tax payers cost eventually
It was taken away and never replaced
At a loss to the general public not
Long After they put some plant troughs
Down and a new seat they attacked the
Seat for a while occasionally a plant
Or two will be pulled up and thrown on
The floor or a beer can or bottle Pushed
In alongside the plants preferable that
To haveing the plants themselves pulled
out along with other discarded stuff
I suppose when this generation of litter
Louts grow up which i don,t think is the right word their kids will be most likely the next generation of litter
Louts, there can be at times a small
Divideing line between them and vandals
so both types and groups are never far
Away but again the word respect means
Little to them. |

Because it highlights this problem Mind
One that folks already know about lol
It all comes down to how folks are Brought up from kids and how to respect
Things Another thing that upsets me is
Is when i see broken glass on the floor
where a d*unken yob has smashed it and All the possible dangers associated with it.

Oddly enough, I think Hackney has been cleaner than it's ever been... MIGHT have something to do with the hordes of Bohemian/Hippy types that seem to have moved into the area though... We seem to have more people who are more aware and considerate of their surroundings, which is nice.

Its not too bad where i live and council do a good job, it does annoy me though when i go walking, running or mountain biking on Cannock chase (a protected area of outstanding natural beauty) and you see litter left behind from visitors....lazy fuckwits!
Police should crackdown harder on people who drop litter in the street, give them on the spot fines i say. Also why don't they get more offenders on community service picking litter in areas where the problem is very bad? Can't actually remember the last time i saw any supervised community service litter pickers? |

"Does anyone pick litter up in their local area?
Yes we do if it is in our street.  "
Good on you. If everyone did the same, the problem would be solved - and the cleaner a location is, the less likely it is to be littered. |
