“We need the enforcement officers to be following it up and catching people and then fining them for littering. “There need to be much more enforcing and then spreading the message about this but I do welcome the council’s campaign.” It comes after shocking figures revealed by a litter picker highlighted the issue. After one hot weekend one woman collected 356 plastic and glass bottles, 164 cans, 19 BBQ’s and seven bags of dog mess, including 17 bags of rubbish from 6.30am till 10am. The campaign, supported by the council’s waste and recycling partner, Veolia, also asks people to take their litter home if a bin is full.
