I don't think the Council can be blamed for the mess on the streets at all. It isn't the bin men or other Council workers who come out and drop litter there. Yes, they've made a pledge to clean up the mess but it's not them who put it there in the first place. If we could just get the message through to not drop litter or to ensure that al bin bags were tied thoroughly there wouldn't be a mess to tidy up.
