A crucial step forward in the fight against litter


Jesse Norman writes "We have made an important breakthrough in the fight to clean up Hereford City. After a long period the relevant rules and people are now in place, and the Council and Amey and the Police are ready to move forward with a tough and co-ordinated approach, including proper enforcement via the new Enforcement Officers. Accordingly we are organising two litter picks in the centre of town, with volunteers supported by council workers, Amey, Police and enforcement. The goal is to send a clear message that dropping litter will not be tolerated in Hereford City. In due course I want to move on to Ross and other parts of the county.
The dates are Saturday 13 June, 11am
Thursday 18 June, 5.30pm
In both cases we will meet in High Town and pick for an hour, before heading for the pub! Can you possibly spare an hour or so to come and help out? We have all the kit. It's really important, it's right to support good initiatives which involve the Council and other public organisations, and it's good fun. Litter is ugly and expensive to clean up, and it contributes to anti-social behaviour.  We need to change the current culture of litter in the City, and in the county. This is a great opportunity to make a difference. I really hope you can come along and take part. Do please let me know if you can."
