Litter Louts?

Question

Thinking about all the litter you see. Should the fine for dropping litter be £100.00 or even more

Answer 1

Yes I emphatically agree , litter is an abomination to the eye and a certain health risk.

I am sure most of us wait, for an example to be made.of anyone convicted.

A similar disgusting habit  that is disposing of used chewing gum on to the pavements, the fine for this would reap many pounds in revenue for the local councils.

But a better penalty would be, to make any person found acting in this way, to be given the task =by law= in cleaning up a section of the pavements and a notice displayed near them to advise potential offenders this, is what they will have to undergo if they also do this.

Answer 2

Yes. When I grew up I was taught not to drop litter and I don't recall ever doing so. I'm in my forties and it saddens me to see kids blithely dropping crisp packets and sweet rappers in the street - in this day and age!

I sound like my parents.

Answer 3

Yeah, worse. On the spot torture.

Answer 4

Much more for fly dumping. In my town someone's dumped tables, chairs and other rubbish in a field about 800 yards from the local dump that's open early in the morning till late at night, 7 days a week, I mean why would any sane person do that?

Answer 5

I see most of it on the sides of country roads

It sickens me to think the mentality of some is that rural areas are one big open rubbish tip

Whatever rubbish I have I take it home with me, its not that complicated is it?

Answer 6

yes the fines need to be severe these days with all the camera phones it should be easier to catch these litter bugs.Especially on the large items that have serial numbers it should be easy to punch in the number see who the warranty was to and have them explain how it got dumped were it did.Also all expenses on cleanup should go to them and placed on there property taxes to guarantee payment
