I had a discussion with one of the members of our local policing team about litter in the Bricknell Avenue area. He agreed with me that much of this was caused by the schools children from Kelvin but he informed me that they were unable to issue tickets to anyone under the age of 16.
We know that the majority of kids do behave and it is unfortunate that a minority give the majority a bad name. The Principal of Wyke has been far more pro-active in his approach to his students who litter and we are grateful for his support on this issue.
John and I have agreed to fund the provision of some more bins in the area which is really all we can do. We can provide more bins, but sadly we can't make people use them!
