Yes, it is painfully obvious that we Brits are awful at keeping our environs clean and healthy but is this the best way to go? Are there better approaches to this filthy habit?

Was there not a report recently of a lady being harried by an employee of one of these Private Anti - Litter companies. She had had the brass neck to tip a piece of grit out of one of her shoes and not put it into a litter bin !! Disgrrrrraceful !!

I think that was in Devon, the BBC also interviewed a few people about litter problems and one interviewee, in the process of dropping a cigarette stub, explained that if she didn't drop it council workers would be out of a job with no streets to clean!!

Courts should be using community service awards as well as fines, get the offenders out cleaning up, eg using a phone in car, big fine points and 100 hours litter clearing!

Make the drunk louts who go on the rampage in a lot of cities at weekends clear up their mess if they are arrested.

Long term unemployed. some of whom are better off on the dole, should work for their benefits
