I agree with prevoius postings that the take away's should be targeted and if a piece of wrapping carrying the name of such as Burger King or Mc Donalds found in the street constituted a litter offence and a fine for every piece found carried a fine.....that would earn more money for the council than a mere fag end.
I do mean a fine for the company and not the individual.
I would hazzard a guess that more of this litter is dumped on the streets in one week that fag ends in one year.

If you advocate that Burger King or McDonalds
are fined if the wrappings from their products is causing litter, then surely the tobacco companies should be fined when a little old lady drops a fag in the street.
