LITTER, LITTER, LITTER......

One of the biggest issues raised in our recent Constituency-wide survey was the problem of litter.

Not only does litter create an eyesore, but it also attracts rats and other vermin.

On Saturday 10th March, as part of a nationwide initiative by the Conservatives, local Conservative Councillors joined Tracey Crouch and an army of Conservative volunteers on a huge, Constituency-wide litter pick.

We all accept, however, that our litter pick is not the long-term solution. People need to take personal responsibility for their own litter - and not expect the Council, or taxpayers, to clean up the mess and pick up the bill. But we hope we made your area a bit cleaner and healthier.
