Don't think that this CCTV system was ever put in to catch the litter louts Madhatter, just another use for it. Can't win .. people grumble about the litter and then as soon as they are trying to do summat about it people grumble that it can be used for something better.
Seems you have to have wardens in place in certain areas, but suppose these cost money, have Hyndburn got any do we know for this type of purpose ?
Sure you have all looked at this before, but the Parliamentary link on this is:-

Careful how you search, put in an incorrect letter in the words chewing *um and kept getting adult sights ... sorry, bit rude, but didn't notice for a while.
Seems was band in Singapore for a while, then when sugar free gum came in was lifted .. is this more bio-degradable then ?
We seem to be concentrating on cure rather than prevention here.. I say let's ban it !! Only gives you wind anyway. No nutritional value that I know of, ok helps to get last bits of yer breakfast out of ya' teeth and maybe helps to keep our breaths sweet.
