Gayle, I would be proud if I could walk around the town centre without seeing discarded drink bottles and bags that have contained Greggs bakery products.......so maybe litter wardens and on the spot fines would do it for me......I dislike the graffiti too.

I think the dropped litter and the graffiti are a symptom of how negative people feel about their surroundings.
I believe if people were proud of the town centre they wouldn't be so disrespectful to drop litter.....or write disparaging comments on the fairly new walls.

I used to think that Burnley was a dump, but having visited the town centre a few weeks ago I was surprised to find that it was clean and well cared for......so whatever they are doing to keep their centre clean and tidy should be imported.
