I ADMIRE carer Andrew Holmes who gets up at the crack of dawn every morning to clean his street.

Andrew, 39, is so sick of seeing rubbish littering the roads near his home he decided to start brushing it up himself - and has been doing it for two years.

Now he wants Bolton Council to take over the job - and who can blame him?

I salute his desire for litterfree streets, if only there were more people like us.

Unfortunately not everyone appreciates his work. It's like painting the Forth Bridge, he has to get up every morning to start again.

Laws should be set in stone that every street has to appoint a cleaner upper, and the council could reduce their council tax in payment. The whole area would be a brighter, cleaner more acceptable place.

I'd do it, I already do up to a point. Every day I pick up discarded pop tins and fag packets thrown through car windows by passing scruffbags -- and for nothing, but the joy of seeing a litter free road.
