Litter ....

the aldi area in accy gets littered a lot with mcdonalds packaging infact i would almost guarentee any area withing 5 mins walk of a mcdonalds suffers from high amounts of litter

is this mcdonalds fault - NO

is this the fault of lazy bastards who drop their litter as soon as they stop feeding their fat faces or throw it out of their car window - YES

perhaps with the amount of cctv in that area alone they could get registratiion numbers of cars throwing litter out of their windows and radio to the pretend police men on patrol to nab and fine people seen doing it

Spot on accyman, but if they started fining people £500 for dropping litter I think there would be a drastic reduction in the amount of crap that is floating around the streets

exactly but even with all the cctv in the area and comunity wardens there is very little been done to enforce littering laws

mind you i will grant that the majority of comunity wardens time is spent having to sort out kids whos parents cant control or wont control them :rolleyes:

Thats another form of litter and should be fined too:D
 
A lot of Councils cut back on bins in the light of terrorist activity because of the ease of leaving a bomb in them. Certainly litter does seem to be getting worse over recent years. I'm amazed at the number of people i see dropping large items of litter down right in the middle of town centres nowadays including bottles and cans. CCTV certainly isnt stopping it. is it!

To be quite honest Taggy I don't really think that CCTV was installed to catch litter louts it was more for watching unsavory characters and the like doing naughties, quite honestly I bet the people who do drop little consider themselves as upstanding citizens, but its just become commonplace now to drop litter without really thinking about it, maybe a £500 fine may just focus their minds a little;)
 
No, i was'nt meaning to suggest thats why the majority of CCTV is installed, just that you would think that as a consequence of that, people would be less likely to drop litter for fear of being identified, but they dont seem to give a damn about that nowadays. As you say, hitting them with a hefty fine would make them think again hopefully. I wonder if the problem has been lessened in those centres which have the system whereby a vocal warning is shouted at litter louts...probably to expensive to install and operate in most smaller towns though.

the terrorism thing reminded me of a time i spent i bolton

after a heavy night a couple of years ago out i awoke in a shelter( long story lol) and managed to get some breakfast from a nearby supermarket near the train station.I got the food to take out and ate it while waiting for a train home and put the remains of my full english breakfast into the bin only for it to drop straight through onto the floor

turns out due to fear of terrorism rather than remove the bins completely they removed the bottoms of the bins and left the shells on the posts and when i asked if they could put it in the bin they had in their office they said they couldnt so i guess they were affraid i had left a couple of bangers in the tray or somthing :rolleyes:
 
i blame the bleeding heart anti war lefties for giving the terrorists the idea in the first place :rolleyes:

Being sad I counted litter bins while driving home. 2 on New Lane in Ossy, 14 between the Black Dog and the War memorial at the bottom of Rhyddings Street and 1 near the bottom of Rhyddings Street.

I was surprised with the large number on Union Road.
